A while back (about a week ago) - Gustavoz Zacarias, Thomas Petazzoni, and
myself - were having a conversation on the IRC about creating a new
package type for handling the builds of python packages. If I recall
correctly, this is what we discussed. I would like to just have some
record on how we want to handle building python packages.
Thomas P and Gustavoz - please correct/expand on any points that I may be
missing.
pkg-python infrastructure
-------------------------
* Would add a new makefile defining generic build steps for python
packages under package/pkg-python.mk.
* Would support building for Python 2.7 and Python 3+.
* Would ensure that cross-compiling of python packages is handled
correctly.
* Would support setup.py and setuptools packages.
I don't know when I will be able to get around to doing this but I would
like to at least capture the points that were made. Also anyone else is
welcome to pick up this work too :)
Thanks,
-Ryan
