Just one comment here: python_gdbarch isn't really correct here.
If you have a platform that supports multiple architectures, then
you really should use the appropriate gdbarch for PC.

(python_gdbarch is unfortunately one of those hacks; it would be
preferable if we didn't have it at all ...)

Ideally, the Python interface should carry enough information to
determine the appropriate gdbarch, e.g. by operating on a Frame
instead of a plain PC value.

If that isn't possible, one fall-back might be to look up the
symbol table from the PC, and use the associated objfile arch.

Bye,
Ulrich
