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

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