Hi All,

I am trying to build edk2/basetools python package but it is failing with the below error, looks like there is some problem with environment setup.
Can some one please suggest a way to build it?

Repo Link: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-basetools
Steps to build:

  1.  Run pip install -e . (you might need do this from an admin prompt in windows)
  2.  Run edk2_build to make sure it works
Error Log:
