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:
