Does it seems good to you ? No, it doesn't solve the problem of packages that currently depend on host-python, and that expect a Python 2 to be installed. You seem to be focused only on Python external modules, but you completely forget that there are packages in Buildroot that depend on host-python as their build dependencies, even though those packages are not directly Python related. For example, are you sure that mesa3d and libxcb will built properly once host-python is Python 3 ?
