yeah. its the reason i chose to test in my x86 target because armel and thumb had it installed from microbe work. when i'm at pc i can do another test on it, but there may be a difference in the way /opt is dealt with in scratchbox. if it is just pycentral managed files it might be a fault with the packages. Looking into XB/XS-Python.. line in control file next along with build instructions in rules.
