Hi all,

I just ran into this build issue. After checking the edk2 emails, I saw some of you already ran into this build issue as well. At least, I saw two email threads below talking about this issue.
https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/80068?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%252Fsticky,,python,20,2,0,85296733
https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/79022?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2525252Fsticky,,DeprecationWarnings,20,2,0,84409128

The main purpose of this email is to have obvious email subject to get people's attention, so that people won't spend time to check this when running into this issue.
The solution at this moment is to use Python 3 instead (Use "export PYTHON_COMMAND=/usr/bin/python3" instead of "export PYTHON_COMMAND=/usr/bin/python").

Hi Robinson,
Are you working on this now? If you're busy with other things, how about we revert your patch first?

Hi Bob, Liming, and Yuwei,
What do you prefer to do at this moment? Wait for Robinson? or revert the change?

Best Regards,
Sunny

Hi Sunny,

EDK II only formally supports Python 3 now because Python 2 is EOL with no support.  So I’d suggest BaseTools users switch Python2 to Python3.

Thanks for checking this, Bob and Liming.

Hi Bob,

Yeah, I was aware of that as well. It makes sense to switch Python2 to Python3. However, Python 2 was discontinued for a while, but there seems no announcement in the mailing list or code change for cleaning up Python 2 stuff in edk2 BaseTools, which may make users feel Python 2 is still useable and cause confusion. Of course, I may miss some activities about deprecating Python 2 in edk2. If so, could you point me out? I just want to have an obvious way to inform edk2 users that Python 2 doesn’t work. If you think this email is good enough as a notification to the edk2 users, I’m fine with this.

Moreover, for a quick improvement, how about we add a python version check in the build script to prevent code building and remind users to use Python 3?

Thanks,
Sunny

Bob:

 Yes. Python3 is the formal support. We recommend user to use Python3. But, if user meets the issue in Python2, user can still report the issue in BaseTools. Its priority may be low. For this case, it is the regression issue caused by the recent change. The patch owner is also identified. So, I suggest the patch owner to follow up and enhance his patch.

Sorry for the delayed response, I was on paternity leave since August.

I haven't seen the actual error in this thread. Is there a clear python
error being thrown? Maybe the fix is simple but I can't

But as mentioned elsewhere, python2 has been End of Life since Jan 1
2020, over 1.5 years ago. It's going to become increasingly difficult to
keep code working on python2 and latest python3.

  Here is the error message https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/80068?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%252Fsticky,,python,20,2,0,85296733
  
  Yes, Python27 has been end of life. But, Edk2 has not announced to drop Python27 support. So, if someone meets with python27 issue, we need to response them. 

  Now, I think we can give the proposal to drop Python27 support in Edk2 project.

Re: 回复: [edk2-devel] Python2.7 is not working with the EDK2 build system

[Steven Shi]

I and other people around me met the python2 build failures (crash without clear error message) repeatedly. If we already decided not to support python2, we'd better enforce not to auto set the PYTHON_COMMAND as python2 any longer and give a notice message in the build command against python2 usage.


Thanks
Steven Shi
