Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 2/6] boot/uboot: support building U-Boot with Python 3.x
Date: Sun, 3 May 2020 10:02:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200503080231.GV15673@scaer> (raw)

Thomas, All,

On 2020-05-02 23:28 +0200, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> U-Boot versions newer than 2020.01 use Python 3.x instead of Python
> 2.x in various scripts.
> 
> We already had the BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_NEEDS_PYLIBFDT and
> BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_NEEDS_PYELFTOOLS options, but depending on the U-Boot
> version, we now need to indicate if Python 2.x or Python 3.x should be
> used.
> 
> In addition, it turns out that some U-Boot configurations need a
> Python interpreter, without needing pylibfdt or pyelftools. Some of
> our defconfigs were abusing the BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_NEEDS_PYLIBFDT option
> to make sure a Python interpreter was built.
> 
> To solve both issues, we add a new option
> BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_NEEDS_PYTHON, which itself has a choice to choose
> between Python 2.x and Python 3.x. It defaults to Python 2.x to
> preserve backward compatibility.
> 
> The existing BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_NEEDS_PYLIBFDT and
> BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_NEEDS_PYELFTOOLS options select
> BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_NEEDS_PYTHON.

I don't like it much that construct, where a boolean hides a choice.
Instead, we can siumply use a choice (options names abbreviated as I'm
lazy to type them full):

    choice
        "Python support needed"

    config UBOOT_PY_NONE
        "none"

    config UBOOT_PY2
        "python2"

    config UBOOT_PY3
        "python3"

    endchoice

> +	select BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_NEEDS_PYTHON

Of course here (both pylibfdt and pyelftools), you'd have to switch to a
depends-on, but that does not change much afterall.
