The documentation is not precise about the python package to install, it simply states "Install Python 2.7.10": https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Getting-Started-with-EDK-II -- Except python, there is a precise list of packages to install for this distro: "sudo apt-get install build-essential uuid-dev iasl git gcc-5 nasm", per: https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Using-EDK-II-with-Native-GCC#Install_required_software_from_apt Maybe we simply need to update the doc to ask python3 and add python3-distutils in the list? > >> So, I suggest to check whether python3-distutils is the native python >> library.
