How to configure Yocto / Boost to support Python 2?

I can build Yocto Morty for our embedded target and include "libboost_python.so". Now I'm switching over to Rocko (for unrelated reasons) and I can't get that library to be included in the build.

In local.conf, I have:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " boost"
PACKAGECONFIG_pn-boost = "python"

which used to be enough on Morty. On Rocko, no matter what I try (variants of PACKAGECONFIG, hacking the boost.inc file - which is mostly greek to me) I can get libboost_python3.so but not libboost_python.so. Presumably, the recipe has changed since Morty to default to not providing Python 2, and I can't find the foo to re-enable it.

What instruction should I put in local.conf in order to force the inclusion of Python 2 support?

Support for python2 in boost has been removed in rocko onwards, see this bug

Its not easy to make both python2 and python3 support to keep together for boost

I think you might want to revert.
