[PATCH] python2: Add PACKAGECONFIG for tkinter to support tk from meta-oe

[PATCH] python2: Add PACKAGECONFIG for tkinter to support tk from meta-oe

[Jate Sujjavanich]

Previously, the python recipe did not have a way to add a DEPENDS on
tk.

This makes the option available for users of the meta-oe/meta-oe layer.

What do you want to reach with this?  Afais, build is not more deterministic
than before and requiring both 'tk' and 'tk-lib' when 'tkinter' is *not*
enabled does not look sane to me either.

You probably want something like

| PACKAGECONFIG[tkinter]="--with-tkinter, --without-tkinter, tk tk-lib"

although I do not know/checked whether '--with*-tkinter' is supported by
python's configure script.

Python 2.7.x does not use an explicit configure option for tk support.
Instead, it tries to detect the tk and tcl libraries before compiling
python-tkinter.

In PACKAGECONFIG[*], items three and four are the DEPENDS and RDEPENDS,
respectively. They are only added to the python DEPENDS/RDEPENDS when the
user adds tkinter to the PACKAGECONFIG value.

This thread contains more discussion:

Your patch does not solve the issue of non-deterministic builds.  When
tk was added by some other way, python will get tkinter support although
PACKAGECONFIG was not set.

An idea to make build deterministic might be patching of detect_modules()
in setup.py to add disabled modules to 'missing'.  E.g.

|             missing.append('_tkinter')
| 
|+        missing.extend(os.environ('OE_HACK_MISSING').split())
|         return missing

Probably there are better/cleaner ways but I am not familar with python
distutils.

The presence of the tk library determines whether python's compile
task will build tkinter. Then the presence of python-tkinter in
IMAGE_INSTALL will then determine whether it is installed.

In the absence of tk provided by meta-oe, the python recipe will
install an empty python-tkinter package.

I cannot think of a cleaner way to do this right now. Ideally the
package python-tkinter could trigger a python DEPENDS on tk...


Martin, you originally suggested the PACKAGECONFIG. Do you have any
further thoughts on this?

Richard just submitted patch to explicitly disable tk, extend the patch
to make it configurable and use this new option from PACKAGECONFIG
