Thomas Petazzoni 4b6e8f010a package/pkg-python: fix for per-package directories
With per-package directory support, Python external modules are
causing a problem: the _sysconfigdata.py module installed by the
Python interpreter contains a number of paths that are relative to the
current package per-package directory, i.e python or python3. For
example:

'BLDSHARED': '/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/per-package/python/host/bin/arm-linux-gcc -shared',
'CC': '/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/per-package/python/host/bin/arm-linux-gcc',
'CXX': '/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/per-package/python/host/bin/arm-linux-g++',
etc.

These paths are problematic, because it means that the wrong compiler
gets used when building external Python modules: instead of using the
compiler from the external Python module per-package host directory,
it uses the one from the 'python' or 'python3' per-package host
directory. Due to this, any native dependency needed by the external
Python module is not found, even though it is properly present in the
current package per-package directory.

Of course, the problem occurs with both target Python modules and host
Python modules.

To fix this, we simply rewrite those paths in _sysconfigdata.py before
building a Python package.

Interestingly, until now, the _sysconfidata.py that was used during
the build was the one from $(TARGET_DIR), which is a bit unusual: it
is more common to use files from $(STAGING_DIR) during the build
process. So this commit changes the PYTHON_PATH and PYTHON3_PATH
variables so that they point to $(STAGING_DIR), which makes the
_sysconfigdata.py fixup in $(STAGING_DIR) effective.

Fixes:

  and many more Python packages that use native code with a native library

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
