It depends on what exactly you mean here, but to I don't think we want
any kind of generic extension API.  I think the way that gdb is exposed
to Python has to be ad hoc, and for good reason -- we want control over
API evolution as seen by Python to a degree that we actively don't want
internally.

If you can give more details on what you plan I can give better
feedback.  I just didn't want you to set off down a bad path.
