I would really suggest using the async API. To see how to use the actual API to control your target, checkout the following example:
svn cat http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/lldb/trunk/examples/python/process_events.py The example shows how to create a target and then debug it and us the API to wait for process state changed events and allows you to then control the process. The main problem with your example below is that: i.HandleCommand('r', res) "r" can take an arbitrary amount of time. It will return, but your process might be running. It might be stopped. You have no idea what your process is doing. Using the API correctly to wait for events will give you much more accurate control over your process, and this is why we made process_events.py.
