I think Python code should have to request something like this
specially. The scripting case is less usual than the interactive
debugging (perhaps with some Python helper code) case. I think it would
be weird for the behavior the user sees, by default, to depend on
whether Python or GDB code was active at the moment of C-c.
That is, a C-c when processing a 'python' command in a breakpoint's
'commands' list should have the same general effect as if we were
processing any other command.
