I think it is sufficient to mention the superclass.

I think this logic is too restrictive.
What if we change what breakpoints are reflected to Python?
That is, I think the check for bp_breakpoint should be removed.
Instead, you could just have it check ->py_bp_object.
But if you are doing that you should either rearrange, or just get rid
of gdbpy_breakpoint_from_bpstats, to either preserve the abstraction or
remove it.

Sami> +      stop_event_obj =
Sami> +	  create_breakpoint_event_object (breakpoint);
Sami> +      if (!stop_event_obj)
Sami> +	goto fail;

This could result in a "fail" without an error being set.
But the above change should eliminate that.

Sami> +  PyObject *thread_event_obj = create_event_object (py_type);

Missing space.

Sami> +
Sami> +  if (!thread_event_obj || !thread)
Sami> +    goto fail;

You have to do error checks after each Python call, you can't batch them.

Either: create_event_object can fail, in which case it is not ok to call
get_event_thread on failure; or, create_event_object can return NULL but
not set a Python exception, in which case you must set one explicitly.
