If you look in tmp/deploy/rpm/armv7a_vfp_neon/ (or the one
corresponding to your arch) you'll see that even though the recipe is
called "python" there is no package called "python". If you change the
IMAGE_INSTALL_append line to add "python-core" (and maybe some more
modules depending on what you want to use, see list of generated rpms)
it should work.

Cheers,
Erik
