In Python 3.6, glob.glob() was reimplemented to use os.scandir() (which itself appeared in Python 3.5), thus our monkey patching of os.listdir() here was no longer effective. The end result was not only that bitbake wouldn't notice added recipes or bbappends with BB_SERVER_TIMEOUT set when being run with Python 3.6 (the shipped Python version on Fedora 26 and some other distribution versions), it also broke devtool modify, devtool upgrade and devtool extract since they rely on the ability to create a bbappend on the fly and have bitbake pick it up. To fix it, do the same monkey patching for os.scandir(), which needs to be conditional upon that actually existing since we have to support Python 3.4 that doesn't have it. Long term we should probably look for a better way to handle this that doesn't involve monkey patching Python library code. Fixes [YOCTO #12185].

Bitbake
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints. One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software stacks using a task-oriented approach.
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated html version at the Yocto Project website: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
Contributing
Please refer to http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org) but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current branch, type:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
