I found this bug report thanks to this webpage documenting the issue:
http://hostilefork.com/2013/10/20/qtcreator-debugger-no-locals-ubuntu/

I suggest that bug # 1233662  is better titled and this bug should be marked a duplicate of it.
I'll go ahead and do so if I am able.

Title:
  GDB is not built with python2 support

Status in “gdb” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “qtcreator” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
   On the default install GDB is built without the python-dev , or has
  some other issue disenabling python . I'm not going to pretend I
  understand the full problem , but Qt Creator did not have proper
  debugging -> after some digging around and asking I found out that GDB
  did not work with the python scripts for interpreting STL and QT
  objects . So I rebuilt it from source (first without - same problem
  accured , and then) with python-dev , and that resolved the issue .

  I'm on the latest dev 13.10 build (upgraded) , freshly installed .
