+The Python bz2 module is only needed in certain cases, so only import

+Subject: [PATCH 3/4] Use a python variable instead of hardcoding Python
+
+The nodejs build system uses python in a number of locations. However,
+there are some locations where it hardcodes 'python' as the Python
+interpreter. However, this causes problems when we need to use python2
+instead of just python.
+
+This patch fixes that by using the python variable already in place in
+the nodejs build system.

What is the motivation for supporting more than one version of NodeJS
at a time?
We generally try to avoid supporting multiple versions of a given
component, unless there are some really good reasons to do so (like
python2 vs. python3, or qt4 vs. qt5).
Thanks,
Thomas

Nodejs 0.10 and 0.12 use different versions of the V8 engine. The V8
version used in 0.12 unfortunatly dropped support for the ARMv5
architecture.

Nodejs 0.10 is still maintaned and new versions will follow. I would
suggest to support both version until maintenance is dropped.

Yes and now i think about it i probably should have added something like
depends on !BR2_ARM_CPU_ARMV5
for node.js v0.12.4. V8 after version 3.18 increased the minimum to
ARMv6 with VFPv2. See
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/v8-users/aSOFbaAQvMk. To
confirm I just ran a test and the qemu_arm_versatile_defconfig will
build node.js v0.12.4 but it fails to run. qemu_arm_vexpress_defconfig
will build and run node v0.12.4.

That was my thought too. There are some details on the upcoming
0.10.39 release here https://github.com/joyent/node/milestones/0.10.39
