Breaks packages because talloc creates python bindings then tevent
checks for talloc python bindings before building its python bindings.
Seems like it would be a better idea to select HOST_PYTHON for packages
that require python to build. Then the same version would always be used.

Maybe I can find a clean way to force waf to use CROSS_PYTHON
