No, as far as I know it would need a major change in the design. There
is another project which tries to integrate more closely with gdb, and
that one is able to show local variables:

  https://github.com/jeffmahoney/crash-python

However, this project is still in very early stages (and requires a
patch to gdb, which hasn't been accepted by upstream yet). Unless you
plan to hack on it, it's probably not what you want...
