You will need to find a Linux application equivalent to PaiMei.  Your
question is not "how can I change EAX", your question is "where can I find
a Linux debugger that can be controlled from Python?"

I don't know the answer to that.  gdb is quite powerful, and you can
certainly control it by connecting to its stdin and stdout connections.
