+@item events.new_progspace
+This is emitted when @value{GDBN} adds a new program space
+(@pxref{Progspaces In Python,,Program Spaces In Python}). The event
+is of type @code{gdb.NewProgspaceEvent}, and has a single read-only
+attribute:
+
+@defvar NewProgspaceEvent.progspace
+The @code{gdb.Progspace} that was added to @value{GDBN}.
+@end defvar
+
+No @code{NewProgspaceEvent} is emitted for the very first program
+space, which is assigned to the first inferior. This first program
+space is created within @value{GDBN} before any Python scripts are
+sourced.
+
+@item events.free_progspace
+This is emitted when @value{GDBN} removes a program space
+(@pxref{Progspaces In Python,,Program Spaces In Python}), for example
+as a result of the @kbd{remove-inferiors} command
+(@pxref{remove_inferiors_cli,,@kbd{remove-inferiors}}). The event is
+of type @code{gdb.FreeProgspaceEvent}, and has a single read-only
+attribute:

+@defvar FreeProgspaceEvent.progspace
