Python has a complicated mechanism of checking an objects truthity.
This involves a number of steps, which end with calling two private
methods on an object (if they are implemented). In Python 2 these
two methods are `__nonzero__` and `__len__`, and in Python 3 they
are `__bool__` and `__len__`. Because we *also* define a __len__
method for certain iterable types, this was triggering a situation
in Python 3 where `__nonzero__` wasn't defined, so it was calling
`__len__`, which was returning 0 (for example an SBDebugger with
no targets), and as a result the truthosity was determined to be
False.
We fix this by correctly using ` __bool__` for Python 3, and leave
the behavior under Python 2 unchanged.
Note that this fix is only implemented in the SWIG generation
python script, and not the SWIG generation shell script. Someone
more familiar than me with shell scripts will need to fix them
to support this for Python 3 if desired.

This reverts commit e59c95ca936f5a0a8abb987b8605fd8bf82b03b6.
This was a mistake on my part. The real problem was with my
environment. I was using a release interpreter to try to load
my debug extension module. I noticed this after I finally managed
to get into my extension module's init method, and then it segfaulted
with heap errors due to mismatched CRT (debug vs. release)

In Python 2, a debug extension module required an _d suffix, so
for example the extension module `_lldb` would be backed by the file
`_lldb_d.pyd` if built in debug mode, and `_lldb.pyd` if built in
release mode. In Python 2, although undocumented, this seems to
no longer be the case, and even for a debug extension module, the
interpreter will only look for the `_lldb.pyd` name.
