<p>
        Recipes for Python extensions are simple.
        These recipes usually only need to point to the source's archive and then inherit
        the proper <code class="filename">.bbclass</code> file.
        Building is split into two methods dependling on which method the module authors used.
    </p>
<p>
        Extensions that use an Autotools-based build system require Autotools and 
        <code class="filename">distutils</code>-based <code class="filename">.bbclasse</code> files in their recipes.
    </p>
<p>
        Extensions that use <code class="filename">distutils</code>-based build systems require 
        <code class="filename">distutils.bbclass</code> in their recipes.
