[yocto] python & xml2

[Russell Peterson]

I created a bbappend file with the following:

PYTHON_PN = "python"
DEPENDS += "python"
RDEPENDS_${PN}-ptest += "python-core"
PYTHON_BASEVERSION = "2.7"
PYTHON_DIR = "python2.7"

Seems to work although I have not tested it yet… the library shows up in the correct site dir anyway.

I would think this would be easier and more obvious to change but I’m not python or xml2 expert.
Our users have older python applications that reply on python2.

Thanks for the response.

While looking into this I have become very confused.  Is there some documentation on this?  Do I need to set some kind of variable in the xml2 recipe??
