Bug Description

Whilst investigating dial-number crash induced by dialer-app AP tests, we noticed that whilst both python2+pygtk and python3+gi based scripts crash, only the python3+gi edition generated a .crash file, the python2 edition does not.

This falsely suggested there was a regression, when python2 crash was simply not caught...

I'm afraid it's not possible for the python3 module to run the python2 except hook. If we want to catch python 2 crashes on the phone, we need to install python-apport.

Ok. We instead moving to python3-only, it's just we need to be aware
that "python3 crash reports" may be not regressions, but rather
"previously not reported".
