Description Khem Raj 2012-07-03 16:14:09 UTC 
We should have python dev shell too.
Comment 1 Richard Purdie 2012-07-05 14:36:04 UTC 
The idea here is to have a version of devshell which drops the user into a python interactive shell, a bit like bbshell of old but where the user would be able to interact with the python state, e.g. the data store (d).

There is a proof of concept that has been shared on the mailing lists and is in my wip contrib branches (rpurdie/wip*). It needs further work but is a start.
Comment 4 Stoicescu Cornel 2014-07-16 10:26:11 UTC 
All seems good. One thing to notice is that d.getVar('WORKDIR') returns unexpanded variables:

'${BASE_WORKDIR}/${MULTIMACH_TARGET_SYS}/${PN}/${EXTENDPE}${PV}-${PR}'
