Replace raw strings used in lots of places with predefined constants.
remove more out of date keys() usage.

Jaben Carsey (3):
  BaseTools: refactor and remove more keys() usage
  BaseTools: use predefined constants instead of local strings
  BaseTools: use existing contrants to replace raw strings in python
    code.

Hi Jaben,

Seems only replaced 'UEFI_APPLICATION', what about others, eg ' DXE_SMM_DRIVER' ? Do you have plan to update it  ?

Best Regards,
Zhu Yonghong

Hi Jaben,

One comment on this patch, in InfBuildData.py, MetaFileParser.py and MetaFileTable.py add "from Common.DataType import TAB_ARCH_COMMON,TAB_ARCH_COMMON", the " TAB_ARCH_COMMON" was wrote twice, but in the code it use TAB_ARCH_COMMON and TAB_COMMON.
Current it still build pass because in those files it also have " from Common.DataType import *".
So you will send out a V2 or update this import statement when push the patch? 
Other patch are fine to me.

Best Regards,
Zhu Yonghong

Hi Jaben,

One bug on this patch. Original code it use PcdCName, now it change to use PcdName , it will cause PcdObject incorrect.

-        PcdsKeys = PcdValueDict.keys()
-        for PcdCName, TokenSpaceGuid in PcdsKeys:
-
-            PcdSetting = PcdValueDict[PcdCName, TokenSpaceGuid]
+        for ((PcdName,TokenSpaceGuid),PcdSetting) in PcdValueDict.iteritems():



Best Regards,
Zhu Yonghong
