This should be better in a more recent gdb. Please try git master.
We've made it so that if Python initialization fails, then gdb still
works but disables all the Python functionality.
However, we haven't done the dlopen thing. It's been discussed but I
think it is difficult to do sanely, and especially difficult to do in a
way that handles differences between versions of libpython.
