v4 cover Python related changes

1. add infrastructure to external python packages
2. enable zlib support for host-python due to setuptools and others dependencies
3. add some external packages

FIXME: python-netifaces crosscompilation. I'll comment later on the patch.

ChangeLog: integrate all patches in one serie. Remove dpkt patch as zlib is enabled by default

PATCH v4 1/5 Python: add external modules option

From: Yegor Yefremov <[email protected]>

all external python packages/libraries should reside in "external python modules" section.

Move existing modules python-serial and python-mad there

Move python-mad from package/multimedia to package

You have build/install for the host case, but only install for the target case. Does it really work?

I don't get any errors and I can see setuptools files in both host and target site-packages folder. But I've added build commands for target now.

Even if I cheat and let the test for getifaddrs etc. be successful and netifaces.c gets cross-compiled, the process failed as setup.py tries to create a library and uses gcc instead of cross-compiler. Any ideas?

error: command '/home/YegorYefremov/projects/versioned/tests/br-queue-python/output/host/usr/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc' failed with exit status 1

Even if I cheat and let the test for getifaddrs etc. be successful and netifaces.c gets cross-compiled, the process failed as setup.py tries to create a library and uses gcc instead of cross-compiler. Any ideas?

Have found some resources, but still don't really understand, how to use it in BR:

http://whatschrisdoing.com/blog/2009/10/16/cross-compiling-python-extensions/
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distutilscross

I've installed distutilscross and exported the needed environment variables, but setup.py still doesn't take specified crosscompiler while checking for headers (renamed output/host/usr/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc and setup.py didn't complain). Another thing that I don't really understand, how should distutilscross help if I don't include this package?
