The problem is not about enable/disable, it is more about not explicitly 
selecting the python version.

For the affected libiio the python2 -> python3 change of the python 
bindings last week [1] was basically:

-inherit cmake pythonnative systemd
+inherit cmake python3native systemd

This is very fragile, and I would consider it expected that either the 
old or the new case will break in some way when both python2 and python3
are available during the build.
