Building from master 37ac9a0823690bd3e031c04e2351a41af04e8aa1, any target will
have this problem.
Unable to use ctypes/_ctypes module:
# python
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Mar 30 2011, 10:57:26) [GCC 4.5.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import ctypes
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/ctypes/__init__.py", line 10, in <module>
from _ctypes import Union, Structure, Array
ImportError: No module named _ctypes
I believe this is because of this error during the build:
autoreconf: Entering directory `Modules/_ctypes/libffi'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force
configure.ac:26: error: m4_copy: won't overwrite defined macro: _AC_ARG_VAR_PRECIOUS
configure.ac:26: the top level
autom4te: /home/local/p60_poky/tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
aclocal: /home/local/p60_poky/tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/bin/autom4te failed with exit status: 1
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
NOTE: _ctypes failed to autoreconf
Perhaps related to bug #941?
Filed as bug #1003
