[Buildroot] OpenCV-Python Support

Good day all,

I noticed that back in 2015 there was a patch submitted and signed off
that added opencv_python as a build option for OpenCV 2.

I noticed that it was then reverted in this commit when OpenCV 2.4 was
targeted.

https://github.com/buildroot/buildroot/commit/ac57d05076d7554d5bf43375cc7269fc0e658acc#diff-44c9b82a4a4d16aae921f9f88a95634b

To my knowledge, this should still work, was this simply a mistake, or
am I missing something?  I'd love to add it back in as its a dependency
of mine.

Thanks!
Jimmy

Has nobody ever run into this?

Config.in contains:

comment "opencv_python module requires numpy which is not yet available."

However, we now have python-numpy, so it should be possible to build
OpenCV python support.

Just test it, and submit a patch doing this! :-)

Thanks!

Thanks Thomas! Just wanted to make sure.

If it works, I'll submit a patch so others can benefit.

Best,
Jimmy
