[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] python-fastentrypoints: new package

[Asaf Kahlon]

Yes, of course.

After the compilation of this package, you'll have an executable called
fastep under $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin.
Then you can run fastep on a directory of a python package, and it'll speed
up the console_scripts declared on your setup.py.
What it really does is copying fastentrypoints,py to the directory, adding
it to MANIFEST.in, and adding an import on setup.py, which is actually a
monkey-patch.

It can be very useful on systems with limited resources where importing
pkg_resources can take a long time.
If you want, you can even take it further and write pkg-fastep.mk. Then you
can use it for the relevant python packages. It will add the needed
dependency and run fastep on the package directory.

Asaf.
