Please have a look at what is available before having a burst. if you want something simular to gdb, then you should look into ipython. Yes, Orca could have been written in c or c++, but the speed of development and ease of participation would be diffrent.
Please, taking a posative step and helping out is far better than being negative and talking the project down. Most debug files are not more than a few k, I really dont understand what you mean by large files, and not having space for them. Anyway, there are levels and filters in the orca debug module, I would recommend you have a look through and see what is best for your situation. If you dont want to help out, then this is a diffrent matter.
