You would use two python threads. Info on python threads:
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_multithreading.htm You would make one thread run your command prompt code, and one thread just consuming events. You would make a function in python: def lldb_event_thread(): .... And the code inside lldb_event_thread would be consuming the events (copy code from process_events.py). You actually might want 3 thread: 1 - main thread that waits for anything from the two other threads 2 - command prompt thread 3 - event thread > On Sep 9, 2014, at 4:43 PM, Ted Woodward <ted.woodw...@codeaurora.org> wrote: > > Can I do that from inside lldb, or are we talking another python process?
