Bug description:
  Ubuntu builds gdb's Python support against Python 3, but the STL
  pretty-printers shipped with libstdc++ don't support Python 3:

  (gdb) python
  >import os, sys
  >stldir = '/usr/share/gcc-4.7/python/'
  >if os.path.isdir(stldir):
  >  sys.path.insert(0, stldir)
  >  from libstdcxx.v6.printers import register_libstdcxx_printers
  >  register_libstdcxx_printers (None)
  >end
