I remember a talk at the last GNU Cauldron that talked about a project 
to describe way info and the like in a platfrom-independent way: 
https://infinitynotes.org/wiki/Infinity

It’s not a Python API and it’s still work in progress IIUC, but this 
would not be something tied to GDB, so ideally other debugging tools 
could use this info at some point. Would this fit your need?
