bitbake error package not found in base feeds - yocto

Question

I want to include https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ndeflib in my image. Thus I created a recipe for this. Following are the contents of python-ndeflib_0.2.0.bb
DESCRIPTION = "NFC Data Exchange Format decoder and encoder."
SECTION = "devel/python"
LICENSE = "CLOSED"
SRC_URI = "https://pypi.python.org/packages/0c/0f/b9d94cee7847697469c49a25b4d23236de534451990b83008e6bf4fab15b/ndeflib-0.2.0.tar.gz"
do_install_append() {
rm -f ${D}${libdir}/python*/site-packages/site.py*
}
do_compile_prepend() {
${STAGING_BINDIR_NATIVE}/python setup.py install ${DISTUTILS_BUILD_ARGS} || \
true
}
SRC_URI[md5sum] = "b7ae0c34f49289c44c292e24843cfeb1"
I am able to bitbake python-ndeflib successfully
but whenever I try to build my final os image bitbake fsl-image-machine-test
the process fails at the with following error
ERROR: python-ndeflib not found in the base feeds
Thus where I am making mistake?

Answer 1

I had this error (projectname not found in base feeds in do_rootfs)solved in different project (non cmake , non make) with this:
ALLOW_EMPTY_${PN} = "1"
in its *.bb file.
Some other people has this error because they were using capital letters in project name.

Answer 2

Did you try to write a recipe similar to the one in your previousquestion? That should have solved your issue.
Writing something similar to that recipe, gives you python3-ndeflib_0.2.0.bb:
DESCRIPTION = "NFC Data Exchange Format decoder and encoder."
SECTION = "devel/python"
LICENSE = "ISC"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://LICENSE;md5=f7c92777f3af9604e192a0d195b6a6a4"
SRC_URI[md5sum] = "b7ae0c34f49289c44c292e24843cfeb1"
SRC_URI[sha256sum] = "baa86a48cf310cf77524f6fa04f5bd90775c4c290116b6b543aa3d6d65b721bf"
inherit pypi setuptools3
Which seems to work pretty well. Note that I used Python 3 instead of two (setuptools3).
Ie inherit setuptools or setuptools3 instead of writing your own do_compile, do_install, etc, unless you really have to.
