I agree we should be very careful about that, and keep things clear
for the users. One the one hand, a full on/off switch, with a clear
message "your GDB was configured without Python support" is simple
for users to understand. On the other hand, having the API itself
depend on what version of Python GDB was built with would make things
pretty confusing, in my opinion.
