Hello. I read the posts a couple days ago about the Python issues with Kconfig feature. I didn't see a resolution on how this would be fixed. I am running Ubuntu 14.04LTS, building u-boot and the problem I have is that the eldk tools have a older python (2.7.3) which does not have the subprocess module but the current Ubuntu python (2.7.6) does include the subprocess module. When I add the eldk (cross compiler) path before my env $PATH the defconfig fails in multiconfig.py (uses the python in the eldk toolkit). Can I just remove python from the eldk tools (so the newer python will be used) or is that older python version required for some other script in the cross compiler?
