Kodi is in transition to support python3 instead of python2: https://kodi.wiki/view/General_information_about_migration_to_Python_3 "For Kodi 18 (Leia), only addons that are compatible with both Python 2 and 3 will be accepted to the official addon repository." Some of these addons depend on the Kodi addon script.module.future to provide support for both python versions. The script.module.future addon contains python-future: https://kodi.wiki/view/General_information_about_migration_to_Python_3#Future which in turn needs lib2to3 to be included in the target build of python2: http://python-future.org/automatic_conversion.html Kodi addons depending on the script.module.future addon are crashing on buildroot due to lib2to3 missing in the build. LibreELEC added lib2to3 to python2 to fix the problem: https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/21239-lib2to3-pgen2-parse-missing/ https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/4147 This patch provides the Config.in option to be used by Kodi.
