Paul, All,

On 2017-09-08 15:18 +0100, Paul Gildea spake thusly:

python-package was introduced in December 2013, so appeared in Buildroot
2014.02. This means you are using  version that is almost 4 years old
now.

And below, we can see that you are using the GENTARGETS infrastructure.
This was removed in July 2012, now more than 5 years ago...

We can't help on such an old version.

I would suggest that you upgrade to at least our first LTS version,
2017.02, or to the latest release, 2017.08.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
