gdb python how to output integer for examine memory

[Wesley]

Hi Dave,
  Thanks for your response.
It's just a simple script for test:-)
My concern is use gdb to monitor variable in memory within python process.
For details, in my origin post, just wanna why cannot output interger value from the address.

Maybe here is not right for gdb python question..but seems I cannot post question at another gdb group.

So, post here, since it's also related to python,in case anyone knowns this.
Sorry for that.

Wesley
