[oe] [PATCH] python: Initial commit of python 2.7.1

[Michael 'Mickey' Lauer]

Thanks for the patch which looks good on first glance.
Please also include your generate-manifest-2.7.py in the patch.
Also, add a DEFAULT_PREFERENCE = -1 for both the native and the
non-native version.

Did you check whether task-python-everything still builds with 2.7?
We have quite a lot of software in OE that requires Python,
before bumping to a major version we need confirming from various users.

With regards to python 3.0, I suggest adding it as python3[-native].
Getting it to coexist with python 2.x at build time we can investigate
once it's in OE.

Cheers,
