Because GDB supports CLI command in MI-mode, I can call my Python functions by CLI. BUT It would be better, IMHO, to use MI commands, especially for GDB/Python commands that return status information and errors.

Just not done (yet). There have been various discussions on this list
about it. There are some technical issues which you need to
consider. I won't recap them here, they are pretty well laid out in
the archives. So something to think about if you wanted to take a
stab at it.
