If eggs are not wanted (and that seems to make sense) then these functions
should be removed  ... but I don't understand the commit that introduced
this (6b4cee975 in meta-oe):

    python-six: Error fix for recipes depend on python-six

    If you bitbake recipes which depends on python-six such as
    python-cryptography. And also your network is not very well.
    Error will occur as following:
       Download error on https://pypi.python.org/simple/six/:
       [Errno -5] No address associated with hostname -- Some packages may
not be found!
        Couldn't find index page for 'six' (maybe misspelled?)
        No local packages or download links found for six
    So add do_compile_append() to fix it.

Not sure where a URL like that comes from or why it would be accessed
during build? Li Xin, any comment?

I'll send a revised patch without the appends.
