Usually no. "gdb" is a C level debugger. If debugging information is available (and the type of an object know), "gdb" can show you the fields of an object. If you know the correct type, you can cast an object to this type and get the field information. Thus, "gdb" gives you a possibility to examine the objects, a given object refers to. However, in general, there is no data structure (in a C program) that provides access to the objects that refer to a given object. In such cases, "gdb" cannot help you to find those objects. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
