distutils3: allow setup.py to be run from a different directory to ${S}
Sometimes setup.py can be buried deep in a source tree. This has traditionally been solved with setting S to the subdirectory in the source. However with the new pseudo changes, some python modules make changes to files beneath ${S}, for example: S = "${WORKDIR}/git/python/pythonmodule" then in setup.py it works with source code in a relative fashion, such as: ../../src This causes pseudo to abort as it isn't tracking the paths. Therefore implement the variable DISTUTILS_SETUP_PATH so that recipes can use: S = "${WORKDIR}/git" DISTUTILS_SETUP_PATH = "${S}/python/pythonmodule" inherit distutils3 This allows the full source tree to be monitored, while distutils can run setup.py from a location other than ${S}.
