We still have a few places in the printers.py file that check for Python 3 vs Python 2, so I did so here too. For the Python 3 case, I'm assuming 3.1 or later, because I can imagine some people might be stuck on Python 2 for some reason (and also unable to build GDB with Python 3? ... maybe unlikely) but nobody should be stuck on 3.0 and unable to replace that with 3.12 or so. So the condition is Python 2x, or Python 3.1+, and Python 3.0 is unsupported. If we no longer care about Python 2 there are a few places in that file we could clean up.
