Ideally the GDB script should be usable both as an auto-load script and as a target for manual source invocations.

The GLib pretty-printer does it like this:

def register(obj):
    if obj is None:
        obj = gdb

    obj.pretty_printers.append(pretty_printer_lookup)

register(gdb.current_objfile())
