Out of curiosity: Why?

I.e. are there realistic scenarios where people actively use GDB's Python
interface (in this context here I am tempted to call it a fairly "recent"
addition to GDB, the first commit seems to be dated Aug 6, 2008), but are
not able to use it with Python 3.x (3.0 released on Dec 3, also 2008)?
