python-elementary is currently available through normal openembedded. If 
you are on a distribution made by openmoko, you currently will not have 
python-elementary, because actually they don´t merge there branch with 
the master branch of openembedded.
I think opkg.org is missing a flag to show for which distribution the 
package was made. Only pointing on the dependency on shr.bearstech.com 
isn't a solution.
