But it is in every Python program; if you program in Python it's part of what you do.  Python, unlike many other programming languages, treats exceptions as a major mechanism that's ingrained in everything.  It's not missing (as in C) or more of an afterthought (as in C++).  I think that having GDB/Python work differently would make it feel quite unPythonic.
