It seems to me that the confusion comes from the fact that Python
scripting support can be viewed by two angles: a much more powerful
version of the current GDB scripting capability, and a way to develop
new features and functionality (even eligible to be shipped with GDB
itself) without having to mess around with GDB internals, by doing them
completely in Python.
In the first sense, it makes sense to put the Python-related
documentation in the "Canned Sequence of Commands" chapter. In the
other, it doesn't because it's something different. And the audience of
each of those is different.
