• Difficulty: Complex
• Language: Python
• Suggested by:
• Required completion date: End of year, 2020

Issues:

• Individual tools use shared modules that will need to be ported prior to

• Current sources contain depricated content
• Files need to conform to the Python Coding Style Guideline and pass pylint

• Several standard Python module functions are overridden for handling long

• Several filenames are duplicated in different directory trees
• Some imports are ambiguous

Location of Source Code:

[[email protected]:tianocore/edk2.git BaseTools/Source/Python]

Requirements:

• Update content to conform to Coding Style (see below)>

• Modules must pass pylint - a custom pylint RC file is available.

• Python files must start with the standard header

• Update code, replacing deprecated modules with newer modules.

• First line python code statement in each file must be:

  ```from future` `import` `absolute_import`

• All tools are 32-bit versions of the tools, in order to create Win32

executables.

Python 2.7.x

• must be able to run with 2.7.3 or later Python 3.x.x
• must be able to run with 3.4.x or later pip
• recommended version is 8.1.1
• used to install other modules logilab-common
• 1.2.0 or later logilab-astng
• 0.24.3 or later pylint
• 1.5.5 or later astroid
• 1.4.5 or later uuid
• 1.20 pywin32
• 217 or later antlr-python-runtime
• 3.0.1 ONLY cx-Freeze
• 4.3.4 or later

Python PEP-8 Coding Style Guidelines

Python PEP-257 Docstring Conventions

• Maximum line length for code: 100 characters
• Maximum line length for comments and docstrings: 72 characters
• Regular Expressions allow camel case: [a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]{2,30}$
• Const Regular Expressions: (([gA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*)|(__.*__))$
• min-similarity-lines=10
• ignored-classes=SQLObject
• generated-members=REQUEST,acl_users,aq_parent
• dummy-variables-rgx=_|dummy
• max-args=12
• max-locals=25
• max-returns=10
• max-branches=25
• max-statements=100
• max-attributes=15
• min-public-methods=0
• deprecated-modules=regsub,string,TERMIOS,Bastion,rexec,optparse
• Python 2.7.x requires all files to be endcoded on disk as ASCII, not UTF-8.

All modules must be able to execute from source with both Python 2.7.x and Python 3.x.x.

The following two files should be removed:
