We currently have
$(TARGET_DIR)/usr/lib/python$(PYTHON_VERSION_MAJOR)/site-packages/
inside the PYTHON_PATH variable, which gets used to define PYTHONPATH,
passed to the host Python interpreter when building/installing target
packages.
However, this is terribly wrong, as it causes the host interpreter to
potentially import target Python packages. This is wrong for several
reasons:
- Some Python packages might need some Python modules to be installed
on the host (described in setup_requires in setup.py), but their
installation currently works because by luck the corresponding
Python module is installed for the target. Some of those cases were
happening for real, and fixed by previous patches.
- Some Python packages include some native code, therefore built for
a specific CPU architecture. When you point the host Python
interpreter to native libraries built for the target, you get nice
build failures, such as the one affecting the python-cffi related
packages.
Making this change allows to fix the python-cffi related build
failures:
