Based on the context provided, the issue with your Yocto recipe for python3-playsound seems to be related to the do_install function, where the playsound.py file is not being installed correctly. Here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue:

  1. Verify File Existence: After the do_unpack step, check the directory structure to ensure that playsound.py exists at the expected path ${S}/playsound.py. If the file is not present, the installation will fail silently.

  2. Correct File Path: The source file path ${S}/playsound.py might be incorrect. Since you are dealing with a wheel file, the structure might be different. You may need to extract the wheel file manually to verify the correct path to playsound.py.

  3. Modify do_install: If playsound.py is not directly available, you might need to adjust the do_install function to correctly reference the file’s location. This could involve navigating into subdirectories created by the wheel extraction.

  4. Check Logs for Errors: Review the log files generated during the build process for any warnings or errors that might indicate why the files are not being installed.

  5. Review Package Structure: Ensure that the package structure conforms to the expected layout for Python packages. If the wheel file contains additional directories or files, you may need to adjust the recipe to handle these appropriately.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with the missing package files in your Yocto build.
