[Gtk-osx-users] Interactively querying the jhbuild environment

[Richard Procter <richard n procter gmail com>]

Hi all,

I felt the need to dig into jhbuild a little (to see if I could add  
patches in .jhbuildrc-custom in the same way I can change branches  
without touching the modulesets).

I found that adding the following to the end of .jhbuildrc-custom was  
a nice way to explore the jhbuild environment interactively:

import code
code.interact(local=globals())
del code


$ jhbuild shell

[buildshell] orchid:~ rix$ jhbuild shell
