            Bug ID: 12171
           Summary: Python-opencv needs config.py and config-3.7.py to
                    run. Only the *.pyc is not enough.

  Target Milestone: ---

When importing cv2 in python 3.7, the program stops with:

  File "usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/cv2/__init__.py", line 89, in <module>
  File "usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/cv2/__init__.py", line 58, in bootstrap
  File "usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/cv2/__init__.py", line 56, in
load_first_config
ImportError: OpenCV loader: missing configuration file: ['config.py']. Check
OpenCV installation.

Since buildroot removed all *.py, leaving the corresponding *.pyc, the above
config.py file is not in target. But these two files are currently needed
uncompiled for "import cv2".

We can of course specify BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON3_PY_PYC=y, but this would make all
*.py in target, which is sort of a waste.
