Use gdb.parse_and_eval to get a gdb.Value with the value of your variable.

For instance, if you have a variable called "v" in your program you can do

v = gdb.parse_and_eval("v")

The v variable that you get in the gdb's python interpreter is a gdb.Value object that you can print, get the value of a field (if the original v variable is an object), etc.
