1. OVERVIEW\r
======================================================\r
3.1 Getting Python\r
==================\r
- Currently only version 2.7.2 of the CPython distribution is supported. For development\r
- ease, a subset of the Python 2.7.2 distribution has been included in the AppPkg source\r
- tree. If a full distribution is desired, the Python-2.7.2 directory can be removed or\r
- renamed and the full source code downloaded from http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.2/.\r

A. Within your EDK II development tree, extract the Python distribution into\r
AppPkg/Applications/Python. This should create the\r
|- \etc Configuration files used by libraries.\r
|- \tmp Temporary files created by tmpfile(), etc.\r
|- \lib Root of the libraries tree.\r
- |- \python.27 Directory containing the Python library modules.\r

|- \site-packages Site-specific packages and modules.\r

system as follows:\r
\r
* \Efi\Tools receives a copy of Build/AppPkg/DEBUG_VS2005/X64/Python.efi.\r
- ^^^^^ ^^^^^^\r

Modify the host path to match the your build type and compiler.\r
\r
* The \Efi\StdLib\etc directory is populated from the StdLib/Efi/StdLib/etc\r
site types copy_reg linecache genericpath\r
\r
* Python C Extension Modules built as dynamically loadable extensions go into\r
- the \Efi\StdLib\lib\python.27\lib-dynload directory. This functionality is not\r
- yet implemented.\r

-7. Supported C Modules\r
+ 6. copy Build\AppPkg\DEBUG_VS2005\X64\Python.efi to \Efi\Tools on your\r
+ target system. Replace "DEBUG_VS2005\X64", in the source path, with\r
+ values appropriate for your tool chain and processor architecture.\r

+\r
+7. Running Python\r
+=================\r
+ Python must currently be run from an EFI FAT-32 partition, or volume, under\r
+ the UEFI Shell. At the Shell prompt enter the desired volume name, followed\r
+ by a colon ':', then press Enter. Python can then be executed by typing its\r
+ name, followed by any desired options and arguments.\r
+\r
+ EXAMPLE:\r
+ 2.0 Shell> fs0:\r
+ 2.0 FS0:\> python\r
+ Python 2.7.2 (default, Oct 13 2015, 16:21:53) [C] on uefi\r
+ Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.\r
+ >>> exit()\r
+ 2.0 FS0:\>\r
+\r
+ NOTE:\r
+ Python, as distributed, sends its interactive prompts to stderr. If\r
+ STDERR isn't enabled in UEFI Setup so that it's output goes to the\r
+ console, it may appear that Python hangs on startup. If this happens,\r
+ one may be able to rectify the condition by typing "exit()" followed\r
+ by <enter> to exit out of Python. Then, type "exit" at the Shell prompt\r
+ which should enter Setup where you can use the Boot Maintenance\r
+ Manager to modify your Console settings.\r
+\r
+ NOTE:\r
+ Some platforms don't include the Setup utility, or don't allow STDERR to\r
+ be modified. In these cases, Python may be started with the '-#' option\r
+ which will cause stderr to be the same as stdout and should allow\r
+ Python to be used interactively on those platforms.\r
+\r
+ Depending upon the version of Shell you are using, it may be necessary\r
+ to escape the '#' character so that the Shell doesn't interpret it as\r
+ the start of a comment. The escape character is '^'.\r
+ Example:\r
+ python -^# -V\r
