8.34. distutils3*.bbclass

The distutils3* classes support recipes for Python version 3.x extensions, which are simple. These recipes usually only need to point to the source's archive and then inherit the proper class. Building is split into three methods depending on which method the module authors used.

The distutils3* classes either inherit their corresponding distutils* class or replicate them using a Python3 version instead (e.g. distutils3-base inherits distutils-common-base, which is the same as distutils-base but inherits python3native instead of pythonnative).
