dev-manual: Moved devshell and python shell workflow sections.
Fixes [YOCTO #11630]
These two sections can stand alone as tasks. I moved them to the
"Common Tasks" chapter.

4324 | |||
4325 | <para> | ||
4326 | Similar to working within a development shell as described in | ||
4327 | the previous section, you can also spawn and work within an | ||
4328 | interactive Python development shell. | ||
4329 | When debugging certain commands or even when just editing packages, | ||
4330 | <filename>devpyshell</filename> can be a useful tool. | ||
4331 | When you invoke <filename>devpyshell</filename>, all tasks up to and | ||
4332 | including | ||
4333 | <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-patch'><filename>do_patch</filename></ulink> | ||
4334 | are run for the specified target. | ||
4335 | Then a new terminal is opened. | ||
4336 | Additionally, key Python objects and code are available in the same | ||
4337 | way they are to BitBake tasks, in particular, the data store 'd'. | ||
4338 | So, commands such as the following are useful when exploring the data | ||
4339 | store and running functions: | ||
4340 | <literallayout class='monospaced'> | ||
4341 | pydevshell> d.getVar("STAGING_DIR", True) | ||
4342 | '/media/build1/poky/build/tmp/sysroots' | ||
4343 | pydevshell> d.getVar("STAGING_DIR", False) | ||
4344 | '${TMPDIR}/sysroots' | ||
4345 | pydevshell> d.setVar("FOO", "bar") | ||
4346 | pydevshell> d.getVar("FOO", True) | ||
4347 | 'bar' | ||
4348 | pydevshell> d.delVar("FOO") | ||
4349 | pydevshell> d.getVar("FOO", True) | ||
4350 | pydevshell> bb.build.exec_func("do_unpack", d) | ||
4351 | pydevshell> | ||
4352 | </literallayout> | ||
4353 | The commands execute just as if the OpenEmbedded build system were executing them. | ||
4354 | Consequently, working this way can be helpful when debugging a build or preparing | ||
4355 | software to be used with the OpenEmbedded build system. | ||
