François 617f599f86 Fix context subprocess leak and document py_func.tm helpers
- process.py: stop context_id engines in the inner finally block, before
  restore_gd() wipes _py_func_contexts/_lua_func_contexts from the global
  dict — engines were previously orphaned after every test run
- py_func/tm.py: add user-facing docstrings to gd/setgd/delgd; remove
  internal JSON-serialization details from the docs
- helper_lib.rst: auto-generate global variable helpers from py_func.tm
  (the actual subprocess API) instead of globdict
- conf.py: add src/ to Sphinx sys.path so py_func.tm is importable
- py_func_test_item.rst: simplify context sharing section, remove
  JSON-serializable/non-serializable distinction for end users
- Regenerated PDF manual

.. _sec_python_helper_library:
Python helper library
======================
A python library including helper function for python modules called from
testium.
To include the support of this library in a python script, the following
line must be included in the script header:
.. code-block:: python
:caption: testium helper library import
import py_func.tm as tm
.. _sec_global_variables_helpers:
Global variables helper functions
----------------------------------
To manage values in the global variables dataset, the following testium library API
must be used:
.. automodule:: py_func.tm
:members: gd, setgd, delgd
:undoc-members:
:no-index:
Console helper functions
------------------------
Every opened console instance is added to a list with the
key ``console_instances`` of the global variables.
The instance is removed from the list on close step of the ``console`` test item.
To manage consoles from within ``py_func`` python functions,
the following testium library API can be used:
.. automodule:: libs.testium
:members: add_console, remove_console, console
:undoc-members:
:no-index:
Plot helper functions
------------------------
Every opened plot window instance is added to a list with the
key ``plot_instances`` of the global variables.
The instance is removed from the list on close step of the ``plot`` test item.
To manage plots from within ``py_func`` python functions,
the following testium library API can be used:
.. automodule:: libs.testium
:members: add_plot, remove_plot, plot, add_plot_values, last_plot_value
:undoc-members:
:no-index:
Other helper functions
------------------------
.. automodule:: libs.testium
:members: OS, get_main_dir, timestamp, timestamp_as_sec
:undoc-members:
:no-index:
Debug mode
------------------------
.. automodule:: libs.testium
:members: debug_enabled, enable_debug, print_debug, print_info, print_warn
:undoc-members:
