Following this discussion, I've started working on this. The current status of the work is available at: http://git.free-electrons.com/users/thomas-petazzoni/buildroot/log/?h=python-pkg The most important commit is: http://git.free-electrons.com/users/thomas-petazzoni/buildroot/commit/?h=python-pkg&id=5880956ce258b15887049ca5850007395cfd1857 It works quite well with distutils, there are a some issues with setuptools packages: I'll probably need to distinguish them. There are also a few more Python packages that have not been converted. I've limited myself to support Python 2.x for the moment: the idea is that once all Python packages have been converted to the infrastructure, it will be easier to extend it to also cover Python 3.x.
