Since perl and python USE flags were removed from the default profile (bug 250179), gdb will now be built without support for pretty printers, which makes debugging ANYTHING in C++ a real pain. (there is a different between the two uses of the USE flag: bindings, which are useful to a few people, and support, which is useful to many) Reproducible: Always

considering python is the new and recommended scripting language for gdb (and the old one is pretty much EOL), i'm fine with +python should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!
