Agreed. I will likely take the patch I've proposed, since it deals with
a real issue but if we can then clean all this up I'd be all in favour.

At the back of my mind was a plan to figure out the various python
module types that maximally stress distutils.bbclass and
setuptools.bbclass and then make sure we have an example of each in
OE-Core so we can put some better regression testing around this too.

Cheers,
