How to get convenience variables in python?

[S Boucher]

I'd like to get to convenience variables without first having to print them.

But currently, I have to do:

  gdb.execute("print argc")
  argc = gdb.history(0)

With the annoying side effect that argc gets printed.

It would be useful is to be able to do:

  gdb.execute("set $argc = argc")
  argc = gdb.convenience("$argc")
