Putting on my OE-guy hat, if we're shipping a host python for some good reason, it should be as useful as a stock python install on desktop-or-server-distro-du-jour. I did some quick poking when I first hit this and it seems the OE one ships with almost nothing for external modules which made me question why it's even shipped. -- Tom
