FWIW I generally put the test cases in the same patch as the
modification; same with the docs. That's because they are a conceptual
unit.

It looks good, however --

Sanimir> + gdb_py_test_multiple "$stmt throws $exception" \
Sanimir> + "python" "" \
Sanimir> + "try:" "" \
Sanimir> + " $stmt" "" \
Sanimir> + "except $exception as e:" "" \

... there's one version of Python we support that doesn't have this
syntax. I forget which one, I know Phil remembers though.
