[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] libevdev: remove host python dependency

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Thomas, All,

On 2014-07-31 22:46 +0200, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> In commit 79c31e3297da7f0aec4d4675c154736e4cffe3ed ("package/libevdev:
> add dependency on host-python"), Yann added a dependency of libevdev
> on host-python, because the Python script in evdev was using argparse
> which is only available since Python 2.6. At the time, this was
> causing failures on machines that were using Python versions older
> than 2.6.
> 
> However, since Yann's patch, the libevdev version has been bumped. And
> one of the upstream commit,
> http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libevdev/commit/libevdev/?id=cea8f0b8cc86332b0643acd62f24f9fef2ecc153,
> was precisely made to remove the argparse dependency to avoid the
> need to have a >= 2.6 Python version.
> 
> Thanks to this, we can avoid the host-python dependency and rely on
> the system-installed Python version instead.
>
