(gdb) py import gdb
(gdb) set print sym on
Ambiguous set print command "sym on": symbol, symbol-filename.
(gdb) py print gdb.parameter("print sym")
False
(gdb) 


Code that needs to work with multiple gdb versions should be able to rely on
gdb.parameter raising an exception if setting that parameter is an error.
