Recipes for Python extensions are simple.
These recipes usually only need to point to the source's archive and then inherit
the proper .bbclass
file.
Building is split into two methods depending on which method the module authors used.
Extensions that use an Autotools-based build system
require Autotools and
distutils
-based
.bbclasse
files in their recipes.
Extensions that use
distutils
-based build systems require
distutils.bbclass
in their recipes.
