It was patched to be more clear: 2012-02-22 Tom Tromey * gdb.texinfo (Blocks In Python): Clarify block iteration. The new text says: A @code{gdb.Block} is iterable.

Unfortunately we are missing API for this. Could you file a bug report for it? Or alternatively, try to write it? I don't think gdb has a direct way to iterate over sub-blocks; but at the very least you can iterate over the blockvector and look for blocks with a certain parent. Tom
