[yocto] Inline Python function name define

[Xi Zhou Zhou]

Hi,

I want to manipulate a variable with inline python function in a recipe.
The code is something like this.

python newpv() {
    return 999
}

PV = "${@newpv()}"


The error is "name 'newpv' is not defined"

ERROR: ExpansionError during parsing /home/joelz/poky/build/
../meta-test/recipes-bsp/mytest/mytest.bb: Failure expanding variable PV,
expression was ${@newpv()} which triggered exception NameError: name 'newpv'
is not defined


What's the right way to create inline python function in Yocto recipe?


Thanks,
Joel
