Liming,

I think that the user should not need to set PYTHON3_ENABLE at all if they 
manually set PYTHON_COMMAND.

Sorry, my fault. I've been confused by an *earlier* approach that was
described here:

  https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55#c10
  https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55#c12

In that case, if the user only specified the interpreter path, it would
be clear what *interpreter* to use, however it would not be not clear
what *sub-codebase* from BaseTools to run on that interpreter: the
Python2 one, or the Python3 one.

However, now I remember, from

  https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55#c14
  https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55#c15

that after all, the goal is a single common set of BaseTools source code
that runs on Python2 and Python3 alike. In that regard, I agree that the
interpreter pathname is the *only* input we should take & accept from
the user, and the particular python *language version* need neither be
provided by the user, nor be detected by BaseTools themselves.

Sorry about the confusion!

Thanks,
Laszlo

Re: [edk2] [RFC] Edk2 BaseTools Python3 Migration Update

2019-01-08 Thread Gao, Liming 
Jaben:
  I also think this way. Now, we have two envs PYTHON3_ENABLE and 
PYTHON_COMMAND. The behavior can be combined as the below to support this 
usage. If user wants the specific python interpreter, he only needs to set 
PYTHON_COMMAND env.

If PYTHON3_ENABLE is set, PYTHON_COMMAND will be set to the found one by edk2 
scripts based on PYTHON3_ENABLE value. 
If PYTHON3_ENABLE is not set, but PYTHON_COMMAND is set, then PYTHON_COMMAND 
will be used to run python script. No version check here. 
If PYTHON3_ENABLE is not set, but PYTHON_COMMAND is not set, PYTHON_COMMAND 
will be set to the high version python installed in OS. 

Thanks

Laszlo, you lost me. How is that related to an exact path?   If the user 
specifies the path, then always use that specific interpreter.

I thought of that, but how do the build tools derive the python version
just from the pathname of the interpreter?

Will they run "$INTERPRETER --version" and parse the output?

I think that could be brittle; distributions sometimes customize the
version strings of their executables. The "--version" output is usually
human-readable, not machine-readable (per intent).

Not really; please see paragraph (c) in my other reply at
<https://lists.01.org/pipermail/edk2-devel/2019-January/034762.html>.

The rationale is given in the blog post at
<https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/11/14/python-in-rhel-8/>, near
the "platform-python" mentions. Basically the OS should be able to offer
different Python3 installations (at the same time) to end-users and
internally to OS-level packages.

Thanks!
Laszlo

At commit 90d8b4834fd1 ("BaseTools: Reset FdsGlobalVariable",
2019-01-04):

(a) My regression tests using python-2.7.5-69.el7_5.x86_64 were all
successful (build and boot, plus S3 wherever applicable).

They covered IA32, IA32X64, and X64 OVMF, with/without SMM, and with
Fedora and some Windows guests. They also covered ArmVirtQemu on aarch64
KVM.


(b) For testing the Python3 enablement, I used a "RHEL8 Beta" virtual
machine. (The Python situation in RHEL8 is documented in the following
blog post:
.)

My testing with Python3 failed. I did the following, in a clean checkout
of your repo/branch, and a clean shell environment:

# export PYTHON3_ENABLE=TRUE
# source edksetup.sh
# nice make -C "$EDK_TOOLS_PATH" -j3

The final output was:

  LC_CTYPE=hu_HU.ISO8859-2

in my locale settings.)

Either way, I think the issue is that an object ("data") is being
considered a string, rather than a byte array.


(c) To re-iterate my earlier request, would it be possible to set
PYTHON_COMMAND externally (in addition to PYTHON3_ENABLE=TRUE)? Because,
once we package a new version of edk2 for RHEL8, we'd like to set
PYTHON_COMMAND to "/usr/libexec/platform-python", and not to the
auto-detected "/usr/bin/python3'. (In fact, "/usr/bin/python3" could be
missing from the restricted package build environment.)

See the blog post I referenced above -- one of its takeaways is, "use
platform-python if you are writing system/admin code for RHEL 8". In
other words, when users build upstream edk2 on a RHEL8 machine, it's
fine if edk2 detects and uses /usr/bin/python3. However, when the edk2
package of the distro itself is built, it should be possible to direct
edk2 towards "/usr/libexec/platform-python".

Thank you,
Laszlo

  Yes. This can be supported. But, I don't know what purpose to specify python 
minor version of Python3. Current implementation in Python3 branch always tries 
to find the high version installed in OS. For example, Python3.4, Python3.7 are 
both installed, Python3.7 will be chosen. Does this policy meet with your usage?

If we're going for this level of flexibility, I'd like to suggest /
request another improvement. Some Linux distros intend to accommodate
multiple Python3 versions at the same time (this is not a typo; I don't
mean Python2+Python3, but multiple Python3 versions). So basically I'd
suggest that we offer a method for specifying a python version
(2/3/auto-detect), plus, in case a specific major version is specified,
that we allow the user to specify the precise interpreter pathname too.

Re: [edk2] [RFC] Edk2 BaseTools Python3 Migration Update

2019-01-07 Thread Gao, Liming 
Ray:
 I think this proposal is good to recommend Python3 as the default interpreter. 
I summary the updated proposal. 

1. PYTHON3_ENABLE env is not set. edksetup.bat/edksetup.sh will find higher 
version python installed in OS. If Python3 is found, Python3 will be used. 
Then, if python2 is found, and python2 is used. If not found, report error and 
stop build. This will change the default python interpreter from Python2 to 
Python3 when they both are installed. 
2. PYTHON3_EANBLE env is set to TRUE. edksetup.bat/edksetup.sh will find 
Python3. If Python3 is found, Python3 will be used. If not found, report error 
and stop build.
3. PYTHON3_ENABLE env is set to not TRUE. edksetup.bat/edksetup.sh will find 
Python2. If Python2 is found, Python2 will be used. If not found, report error 
and stop build.
Once Python is found, edksetup.bat/edksetup.sh and build tool will both print 
message to let user aware which version python tool is used in this build. 

Thanks

Liming,
I like Python3. But I don't like the idea of enabling Python3 depending 
on PYTHON3_ENABLE environment variable.

I prefer BaseTools to use Python3 by default when PYTHON3_ENABLE is not set.
When PYTHON3_ENABLE is set, BaseTools can use the desired python version 
following the environment variable.


Do you agree? Or any objection?




   But, we have no enough resource to fully verify Python2 and Python3 both. We 
will focus on Python3 validation. If anyone can help verify Python2, it will be 
great. And, if you meet with the issue on Python2, please file BZ. We still fix 
them.

  Thanks for your report. I verify the same command in windows OS with

At commit 4614985ec223 ("BaseTools:The binary data type is incorrect",
2018-12-29):


(1) I tried to build OVMF as follows (using
python-2.7.5-69.el7_5.x86_64):

  build \
-a IA32 \
-p OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32.dsc \
-D SMM_REQUIRE \

-D TLS_ENABLE \
-D NETWORK_IP6_ENABLE \

--log=/tmp/build.ovmf.32.log \
-b NOOPT \
-D HTTP_BOOT_ENABLE \
--cmd-len=65536 \
--hash \
--genfds-multi-thread

This produced messages like:

near the end of the build.


(2) After I removed the "--report-file" switch, the warnings
disappeared.

However, neither of the expected output files

- Build/OvmfIa32/NOOPT_GCC48/FV/OVMF.fd
- Build/OvmfIa32/NOOPT_GCC48/FV/OVMF_CODE.fd

existed. To be more precise, none of "OVMF.fd" and "OVMF_CODE.fd"
existed anywhere in the "Build" directory.

Judged from the build log, it seemed that at least some *.efi modules
were compiled and linked, but FVs and FDs were not built. The following
sections of the log were missing:

I've built OVMF with both python2 and python3 based on the branch and
the VM crashed immediately. The only message in the debug log is:

SecCoreStartupWithStack(0xFFFCC000, 0x82)

The result of bisect showed the first bad commit is

Hopefully I can test this sometime after I return from my PTO. No
promises as to when, for now.

Sounds good to me. I expect that I'll keep building upstream OVMF and
ArmVirtQemu on my RHEL7 laptop for a good while, using Python 2.

[edk2] [RFC] Edk2 BaseTools Python3 Migration Update

2018-12-24 Thread Gao, Liming 
Hi, all
  On Python3 migration https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55, we 
update Edk2 BaseTools python source code with the compatible syntax to support 
Python2 and Python3 both. Here is code 
https://github.com/lgao4/edk2/tree/Python3 for dry run. To enable Python3, you 
just need to set PYTHON3_ENABLE environment as TRUE, then type 
edksetup.bat/edksetup.sh. Without this setting, BaseTools still run with 
Python2. So, there is no change for current usage model with Python27.

  But, we have no enough resource to fully verify Python2 and Python3 both. We 
will focus on Python3 validation. If anyone can help verify Python2, it will be 
great. And, if you meet with the issue on Python2, please file BZ. We still fix 
them.

Thanks
