[oe] Python 2.7.1 support in OpenEmbedded

[Alex J Lennon]

Hi all,

I've been trying to build the 2.7.1 Python recipe. The recipe
seems to build and deploy successfully but when I run python
on the target for test I see

ImportError: No module named _weakrefset

Given it is non-default, I'm wondering if the 2.7.1 recipe
is not currently usable in which case I'll revert back to
2.6.6?

The two changes I made to python/python.inc were:

DEFAULT_PREFERENCE = "-27"
PYTHON_MAJMIN = "2.7"

Thanks,

Alex
