I can confirm this new version runs with gdb 7.8 (and python3) on
debian. I also runs with gdb 7.7.1+dfsg-3 and python2.

I hesitate to have an opinion on python style, but for whatever reason I
have a mild preference for str.format(args)  versus str % args. Not
enough of a preference to redo the patch.

I also agree that this version is easier to follow than the one it
replaces.
