Maybe historical.  ISTR that "source" didn't read in python
files automatically originally.  But I may easily be misremembering.

Guess we could have:

proc gdb_load_python_file { pyfile {test "load python file"} } {
  gdb_test_no_output "source $pyfile" $test
}

But what you have LGTM.

Long line?
