install python on target

Hello list,
I would like to install python on my target imx6 board. My meager google skills seem to suggest this is the way:
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " python" in conf/local.conf.

However, I got this error:

Generating solve db for /home/masa1/sabre/yocto/build/tmp/deploy/rpm/all...
Processing locale-base-en-us...

Processing libts-1.0-0...
Processing packagegroup-core-boot...
Unable to resolve package python
ERROR: some packages were missing
ERROR: Function failed: do_rootfs.........

Any ideas? Is this not the way to add python to the build?

If you look in tmp/deploy/rpm/armv7a_vfp_neon/ (or the one
corresponding to your arch) you'll see that even though the recipe is
called "python" there is no package called "python". If you change the
IMAGE_INSTALL_append line to add "python-core" (and maybe some more
modules depending on what you want to use, see list of generated rpms)
it should work.

Cheers,
Erik

Yes, this is entirely correct.

For what it's worth, another way to see which packages are available
from a given recipe is to run:

    $ bitbake -e <recipe> | grep "^PACKAGES="

e.g.
$ bitbake -e python | grep "^PACKAGES="
PACKAGES="libpython2 python-dbg python-2to3 python-audio python-bsddb
python-codecs python-compile python-compiler python-compression
python-core python-crypt python-ctypes python-curses python-datetime
python-db python-debugger python-dev python-difflib
python-distutils-staticdev python-distutils python-doctest
python-elementtree python-email python-fcntl python-gdbm
python-hotshot python-html python-idle python-image python-io
python-json python-lang python-logging python-mailbox python-math
python-mime python-mmap python-multiprocessing python-netclient
python-netserver python-numbers python-pickle python-pkgutil
python-pprint python-profile python-pydoc python-re python-readline
python-resource python-robotparser python-shell python-smtpd
python-sqlite3 python-sqlite3-tests python-stringold python-subprocess
python-syslog python-terminal python-tests python-textutils
python-threading python-tkinter python-unittest python-unixadmin
python-xml python-xmlrpc python-zlib python-modules python-misc
python-man"
