I don't think another config option is necessary. The size of i2c-tools python 
binding is negligible when compared to the size of python itself.

This seems to indicate that only python2 is supported ...

But this assumes that both python2 and python3 are supported. Which one is 
correct?

Also, there is no need to explicitly list python host variants. Target python 
packages already depend on their corresponding host packages.
