This is one particular thing I wanted to highlight and ask for help on.

The Python code installs hooks so that users can write Python that
reacts to gdb events.  I wasn't sure what would be an acceptable
approach here, and for the short term I just disabled this code.  But,
this is not a good solution.

A lot of this stuff is marked deprecated.  Why is that?  Is there some
other approach the Python code should use instead?
