Description Khem Raj 2012-05-03 00:01:31 UTC 
python 3.x is not yet supported by bitbake. We should work towards it.
Comment 1 Richard Purdie 2013-06-20 21:16:02 UTC 
I do have a branch with bitbake and OE-Core mostly working with python 3 but it becomes incompatible with python 2 so cannot be merged as is. We therefore have an idea of the problems and work involved now and are making progress towards this but work still remains, updating status accordingly.
