gdb -p $(pidof python)：From Dark Magic to PEP-768

In production environments, when Python deadlocks, `gdb -p $(pidof python)` is often the only lifeline that keeps things running. With PEP-768 “Remote Debugger” set to land in Python 3.14, many believe GDB for Python will become increasingly obsolete. This presentation will explore how GDB debug Python processes, its blind spots and pitfalls, how it inspired PEP-768, and the debugging capabilities that PEP-768 still cannot address—capabilities that only GDB can fill.
