[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/2] Fix the OpenCV Python module

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Hello,

Bug https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=12171 was reported a long
time ago: the removal of the .py files causes the OpenCV Python module
to not work.

I have worked to fix this in OpenCV itself, by replacing the .py files
by .ini files that are parsed using ConfigParser, and submitted that
upstream:

  https://github.com/opencv/opencv/pull/16008

However, the changes are not trivial, so we probably don't want to
have them in Buildroot as a patch, and I'm not sure if upstream will
accept them.

So in the mean time, I'm proposing a simpler approach, which was
suggested by Arnout: have a mechanism to exclude some .py files from
the removal.

Best regards,

Thomas
