[edk2] If use prebuild tools, not need install python 2.7 anymore?

[Tiger Liu(BJ-RD)]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 679 bytes --]

Hello,
I have a question about needing install python 2.7

If user wants to setup udk compiling environment, he needs install python 2.7.
When running build command every time, it always check python tool path.
Why?

If I compiled basetools before, and use the prebuilt basetools package, then I don't need install python 2.7 package?

Thanks

Now, edk2 stable tag release is https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II-Release-Planning

After edk2-stable201903 tag, edk2 supports Python3. User needs to install Python3.x, doesn’t need to set PYTHON path.

Thanks

Hi, Liming:
Based on the below web info:
https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Edk2-buildtools

The python tools are used to compile the building tools written by python.

https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/BuildTool-Setup-Guide
in the above web, it said:
“The tools in this section are NOT required to build the EDK II project; they are needed to compile the BaseTools used to build the EDK II project.”

If I used the Prebuilt Windows tools (Win32 binaries), then I don’t need install python package anymore?

Or, current UDK source code doesn’t support prebuilt tools binary, it always need installing Python to compile python build tools every time.

Thanks

Hi, Liming:
Based on the below web info:
https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Edk2-buildtools
[Liming] This page is out of date. buildtools-BaseTools is DEPRECATED. Use BaseTools under EDK II instead.

The python tools are used to compile the building tools written by python.

https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/BuildTool-Setup-Guide
in the above web, it said:
“The tools in this section are NOT required to build the EDK II project; they are needed to compile the BaseTools used to build the EDK II project.”
[Liming] Thanks for your point. I will update this wiki page.

If I used the Prebuilt Windows tools (Win32 binaries), then I don’t need install python package anymore?

Or, current UDK source code doesn’t support prebuilt tools binary, it always need installing Python to compile python build tools every time.
[Liming] Now, edk2 requires Python3.x for build. This change happened one year ago. Please see https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/29436.

Liming
