[OE-core] python3 dbus

[Chris Trobridge]

Hi,

I have a dbus-based service written in python3 that I want run on a Yocto system.

I can run python3 and have patched a few python module recipes to python3 but the big outstanding issue is dbus, and gi.repository.GObject in particular.

I can see various discussions about keeping this up to date on python2 (meta-gir).

I would like some advice on whether I would be better off back-porting the python3 service to 2.7 (which would be disappointing but not a major undertaking) or whether it would be reasonable to modify the existing python 2.7 dbus/gobject  recipes to python3.

I am tending to back-porting to 2.7 but I am not 100% confident that dbus/gobject works with either version of python in Yocto?

All opinions welcome!

Regards,
Chris
