I had missed that change; that puts us into a bit of an interesting situation. 
buildtools-tarball is provided in order to support bitbake builds on hosts 
that don't have the required tools, but the changes required to support python 
3 in the build system itself haven't been merged to master yet. So unless I'm 
missing something at the moment have a version of buildtools that doesn't 
actually support running the build system?

Cheers,
Paul
