Thanks for your contribution!

This might be trickier than it looks at first sight.
Adding python to depends seems the obvious way.
BBCLASSEXTEND = "native" will cause the depends on python to be
substituted in a depends on python-native (and you were building
python-cython-native, not python-cython), so there adding python to
DEPENDS is ok.

The real Q is when building python-cython (not -native ! ). Does this
need python to build or python-native (I expect the former, but I did
not test).
Suggestion is to bitbake -cclean python and python-native then build
python-cython without the depedendency and see if it fails on python
or on python-native.

And if the depends of python-cython is on python-native it might be
needed to add python to RDEPENDS (not fullty sure, I don't know too
much about python).
A run time test can tell this.

Frans.
