EDK II Python
|
|
ReadMe
|
|
Beta Release
|
|
23 Mar. 2012
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. OVERVIEW
|
|
===========
|
|
This document is devoted to general information on building and setup of the
|
|
Python environment for UEFI 2.3, the invocation of the interpreter, and things
|
|
that make working with Python easier.
|
|
|
|
It is assumed that you already have either UDK2010 or a current snapshot of
|
|
the EDK II sources from www.tianocore.org, and that you can successfully build
|
|
packages within that distribution.
|
|
|
|
2. Release Notes
|
|
================
|
|
1) There is no input line editing. Backspace, ^C, etc. do not work.
|
|
2) All C extension modules must be statically linked (built in)
|
|
3) The site and os modules must exist as discrete files in ...\lib\python.27
|
|
4) User-specific configurations are not supported.
|
|
5) Environment variables are not supported.
|
|
|
|
3. Getting and Building the latest version of Python
|
|
======================================================
|
|
3.1 Getting Python
|
|
==================
|
|
Currently only version 2.7.2 of the CPython distribution is supported. The
|
|
source code can be downloaded from http://www.python.org/download/source/.
|
|
|
|
A. Within your EDK II development tree, extract the Python distribution into
|
|
AppPkg/Applications/Python. This should create the
|
|
AppPkg/Applications/Python/Python-2.7.2 directory.
|
|
|
|
B. Copy the files from PyMod-2.7.2 into the corresponding directories within
|
|
the Python-2.7.2 tree. This will overwrite existing files with files
|
|
modified for UEFI usage.
|
|
|
|
3.2 Building Python
|
|
===================
|
|
A. Edit Efi/config.c to enable the built-in modules you need.
|
|
Mandatory Built-in Modules:
|
|
edk2 errno imp marshal
|
|
|
|
Additional built-in modules which are required to use the help()
|
|
functionality provided by PyDoc, are:
|
|
_codecs _collections _functools _random
|
|
_sre _struct _weakref binascii
|
|
cStringIO gc itertools math
|
|
operator time
|
|
|
|
B. Edit AppPkg/AppPkg.dsc to enable (uncomment) the PythonCore.inf line
|
|
within the [Components] section.
|
|
|
|
C. Build AppPkg, which includes Python, using the standard "build" command:
|
|
For example, to build Python for an X64 CPU architecture:
|
|
build -a X64 -p AppPkg\AppPkg.dsc
|
|
|
|
4. Python-related paths and files
|
|
=================================
|
|
Python depends upon the existence of several directories and files on the
|
|
target system.
|
|
|
|
\EFI Root of the UEFI system area.
|
|
|- \Tools Location of the Python.efi executable.
|
|
|- \Boot UEFI specified Boot directory.
|
|
|- \StdLib Root of the Standard Libraries sub-tree.
|
|
|- \etc Configuration files used by libraries.
|
|
|- \tmp Temporary files created by tmpfile(), etc.
|
|
|- \lib Root of the libraries tree.
|
|
|- \python.27 Directory containing the Python library modules.
|
|
|- \lib-dynload Dynamically loadable Python extensions.
|
|
|- \site-packages Site-specific packages and modules.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Installing Python
|
|
====================
|
|
These directories, on the target system, are populated from the development
|
|
system as follows:
|
|
|
|
* \Efi\Tools receives a copy of Build/AppPkg/DEBUG_VS2005/X64/Python.efi.
|
|
^^^^^ ^^^^^^
|
|
Modify the host path to match the your build type and compiler.
|
|
|
|
* The \Efi\StdLib\etc directory is populated from the StdLib/Efi/StdLib/etc
|
|
source directory.
|
|
|
|
* Directory \Efi\StdLib\lib\python.27 is populated with packages and modules
|
|
from the AppPkg/Applications/Python/Python-2.7.2/Lib directory.
|
|
The recommended minimum set of modules (.py, .pyc, and/or .pyo):
|
|
os stat ntpath warnings traceback
|
|
site types copy_reg linecache genericpath
|
|
|
|
* Python C Extension Modules built as dynamically loadable extensions go into
|
|
the \Efi\StdLib\lib\python.27\lib-dynload directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Example: Enabling socket support
|
|
===================================
|
|
1. enable {"_socket", init_socket}, in Efi\config.c
|
|
2. enable Python-2.7.2/Modules/socketmodule.c in PythonCore.inf.
|
|
3. copy socket.py over to /Efi/StdLib/lib/python.27 on your target system.
|
|
4. Make sure dependent modules are present(.py) or built in(.c):
|
|
functools, types, os, sys, warnings, cStringIO, StringIO, errno
|
|
|
|
5. build -a X64 -p AppPkg\AppPkg.dsc
|
|
6. copy Build\AppPkg\DEBUG_VS2005\X64\Python.efi to \Efi\Tools on your target system.
|
|
^^^^ Modify as needed
|
|
|
|
|
|
