Hi Yonghong,

> Now we are working on bugzilla 55<https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55> (https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55)  to migrate BaseTools python tool from Python27 to Python36.  After this migration, the BaseTools will only support Python 3. And for now, user need to install a Python version >= 3.6.

I'm testing the branch and found a minor bug in edksetup.sh that caused
OvmfPkg/build.sh failed to build. I wrote a patch and it works for me.
Where should I send the patch? to the edk2-devel mailinglist directly?
or a pull request in github?

Thanks,

Gary Lin
