## Building a Python package
Packaging for Python uses the `VARIANT` mechanism for packaging inside OpenWrt. (#### FIXME: find a link for this later if it exists)
### Include python3-package.mk
Add this after `include $(INCLUDE_DIR)/package.mk`

### Host-side Python packages for build
These can be installed via pip and ideally they should only be installed like this, because it's a bit simpler than running them through the OpenWrt build system. Build variants on the host-side build are more complicated (and nearly impossible to do sanely) in the current OpenWrt build system.
These can be installed via pip and ideally they should only be installed like this, because it's a bit simpler than running them through the OpenWrt build system.
Which is why [for example] if you need python cffi on the host build, it's easier to just add it via:
