How to use catkin to cross compile and ignore python

edit

I'm working on cross compiling to an ARM platform that doesn't have python.

Is there a way to specify catkin to ignore all catkin_python_setup() calls?

As well it can't find the PythonInterp and I guess I can set that through the environment variable for my host machine, but the target won't have python.

I'm hoping to be able to compile ros packages that contain python nodes and dependencies on rospy but functionally ignore them through the process, even if they tag along and are present in the installed files for now.
