31 I only have Python 2.4 or 2.5 but BitBake requires Python 2.6.
32 Can I still use Poky?

37 You can use a stand-alone tarball to provide Python 2.6.
38 You can find pre-built 32 and 64-bit versions of Python 2.6 at the following locations:
39 <itemizedlist>
40 <listitem><para><ulink url='http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/downloads/miscsupport/python-nativesdk-standalone-i586.tar.bz2'></ulink></para></listitem>
41 <listitem><para><ulink url='http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/downloads/miscsupport/python-nativesdk-standalone-x86_64.tar.bz2'></ulink></para></listitem>
42 </itemizedlist>
43 </para>
44 <para>
45 These tarballs are self-contained with all required libraries and should work
46 on most Linux systems.
47 To use the tarballs extract them into the root
48 directory and run the appropriate command:
49 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
50 $ export PATH=/opt/poky/sysroots/i586-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/:$PATH
51 $ export PATH=/opt/poky/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/:$PATH
52 </literallayout>
53 </para>
54 <para>
55 Once you run the command, BitBake uses Python 2.6.
