Hi Michael,

For the file operation, I would suggest to use with statement. with statement 
will automatically close the file after the nested block of code. The advantage 
of using a with statement is that it is guaranteed to close the file no matter 
how the nested block exits.

For example
         try:
                with open(self._FilePath, "r", 0) as File
                       FileLinesList = File.readlines()
         except BaseException:
                 EdkLogger.error("build", AUTOGEN_ERROR, 'File %s is opened 
failed.' % self._FilePath)

Thanks,
Bob

Subject: [edk2] [PATCH v1 1/1] BaseTools: Explicitly close files after readlines

From: mjohn4 <[email protected]>

Rework some file open().readlines to open, readlines, close.
This prevents excessive file handles being open at the same time, which may be 
a problem with alternative python environments.
