I have a patch to allow setting parameters temporarily.
I tend to think gdb.execute is good enough for setting
things permanently.  (Really you shouldn't do that, since
those are normally just for the user.)

    Add a way to temporarily set a gdb parameter from Python

    It's sometimes useful to temporarily set some gdb parameter from
    Python.  Now that the 'endian' crash is fixed, and now that the
    current language is no longer captured by the Python layer, it seems
    reasonable to add a helper function for this situation.

    This adds a new gdb.with_parameter function.  This creates a context
    manager which temporarily sets some parameter to a specified value.
    The old value is restored when the context is exited.  This is most
    useful with the Python "with" statement:

       with gdb.with_parameter('language', 'ada'):
          ... do Ada stuff

    This also adds a simple function to set a parameter,
    gdb.set_parameter, as suggested by Andrew.

    This is PR python/10790.
