Hello,

I try to use the dbus-python package. It compile fine, but when
I try to use it on the target, I get this error:

# python
Python 2.4.5 (#1, Mar 26 2009, 16:56:57) 
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import dbus
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from xml.parsers.expat import ExpatError, ParserCreate
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/xml/parsers/expat.py", line 4, in ?
ImportError: No module named pyexpat
>>> 

The strange thing is that there seem to be no pyexpat package in
buildroot yet. So I don't understand how dbus-python can be
functional on the target.

Best Regards,
