Idea for this patch came from this thread: <a href="https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/topic/patch_python3_setuptools/106764629" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/topic/patch_python3_setuptools/106764629<br /><br /></a>I haven't done any runtime tests yet. But this is the idea I have so far and it builds without issues. My compressed image shrinks by ~1.7MB which is nice if this indeed works.<br /><br />Any thoughts/feedback on this approach? Am I missing something? I felt that giscanner python module should be included in tools since it requires distutils.
