Note: deviating from "RE: [edk2] [Patch 0/3] BaseTools: Implement splitquoted function"
Laszlo, Since I am working on some research related to this, I have a few follow up questions. If there is significant performance improvement, how would you feel about requiring a 3rd party package to be installed (via pip I think)? Would you feel more comfortable if BaseTools were able to run either with it or without (with performance differences)? Basically there are potential performance improvements, but use of 3rd party python packages is instrumental for many of them. -Jaben > -----Original Message----- > From: edk2-devel [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of > Laszlo Ersek > Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2019 6:02 AM > To: Gao, Liming <[email protected]>; Feng, Bob C > <[email protected]>; Bi, Dandan <[email protected]> > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [edk2] [Patch 0/3] BaseTools: Implement splitquoted function > > On 02/12/19 14:33, Gao, Liming wrote: > > Laszlo: > > To install python3-distutils should resolve this issue.
