I am using an I.MX8M plus processor. 
I am using Yocto for building my final image.
I can successfully create a custom meta-layer and a recipe.
Where I can also have my application code and compile my final image.
My application code is written using a Python programming language.
I need a few packages to be installed for that python application to run.
I can add the packages in build/local.conf file.
like : 
IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " python3"
IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " python3-scons"

But I don't want to add in local.conf file which is in build directory.
Can you suggest me a way to add any packages using my recipe itself, instead of using any existing recipe.
Is it possible to do, if yes , please help me with that?
