Do you mean I should edit the NEWS file (under "Changes since GDB 7.5")? How's the following:

* New commands
  
  ** "python-interactive [command]"
     "pi [command]"
     Starts a Python interactive prompt, or evaluate the optional 
     command and print the result of expressions.

  ** "py" is a new alias for "python"


Thanks,
