 Some considerations here (based on the example above):
-* `VARIANT=python3` must be added

 ### Host-side Python packages for build
 
-These can be installed via pip and ideally they should only be installed like this, because it's a bit simpler than running them through the OpenWrt build system. Build variants on the host-side build are more complicated (and nearly impossible to do sanely) in the current OpenWrt build system.

 Which is why [for example] if you need python cffi on the host build, it's easier to just add it via:
