I have faced the same problem on my opensuse machine and the problem was resolved after I installed the python3-curses package.

Hi Manjula Rajesh,

What's the CentOS version?  It is said CentOS 6.5 installs python 2.6.6 and Yocto Project can work on most recent Linux distributions with Python-2.7.3 or later and required packages installed.

I am not able to uninstall python 2.6.6 to install 2.7.3 as default . when I give --version always it gives 2.6.6

Hello Manjula Rajesh,

Have you try the instructions in SDK document for this? Copy below:

Please follow below instructions to install the Python 2.7.x in custom path instead of override the system default python, the override may cause system utilities breaking.

$ wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.6/Python-2.7.6.tar.xz

[NOTE: Python 2.7.3 and python 2.7.5 can be used as well.]

$ tar -xf Python-2.7.6.tar.xz

$ cd Python-2.7.6

$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/python-2.7.6

$ make

$ sudo make install

Please run below export command to ensure python 2.7.x is used for Yocto build.

$ export PATH=/opt/python-2.7.6/bin:$PATH

Regards

Lunmin
