Right,

The only thing I would add is that it can be hard to set breakpoints
in GDAL since the shared library isn't loaded when python is in it's
main().  Sometimes I introduce a wait call at some strategic point in
GDAL (ie. GDALAllRegister()) to give me a chance to control-c gdb after
gdal has been loaded ... then I can set a breakpoint.

Best regards,
