Thanks very much for the clarification, Dmitry.
I thought my gdb 7.10.1 was already using python 3 but it seems not. I
have been using my own local gdb 7.10 build (my distro package is 7.9)
and I expected the build to use the installed python3. However, I think
it picked up the (also installed) python 2.7.10 default version when I
ran autoconfig on my machine.
So, the unwinder scripts definitely need to be changed to employ the
later (3.x) syntax. I will also document that you need a gdb version
7.10+ built to use python version 2.7+ and preferably 3.0.
