# Tianocore Edk2 PyTool Extensions (edk2toolext)

This is a Tianocore maintained project consisting of command line and other
python tools and extensions for building and maintaining an Edk2 based UEFI
firmware code tree. Part of these tools include "invocables" that can be used to
build EDK2 Platforms and these tools are known as "stuart". This package's
intent is to provide tools, scripts, and a plugin based environment for use
within the tools and scripts. This environment has command line interfaces to
support building a product, building CI, running tests, and downloading
dependencies. This environment also provides the building blocks for developers
to write their own tools to launch in the environment and leverage the
capabilities provided by the environment. The unique capabilities provided help
support building products with multiple repositories and having each repository
contribute/plugin to the build process in a scalable way. The environment will
scan the files in the code tree (multiple repos) and discover plugins,
dependencies, path adjustments, environment variable settings, etc. This
provides easy methods for common repositories to share build tools/steps.

Inclusion of this package is best managed using Pip/Pypi.  This package makes
use of edk2-pytool-library.

This is a supplemental package and is not required to be used for edk2 builds.

### Current Release

[![PyPI](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/edk2_pytool_extensions.svg)](https://pypi.org/project/edk2-pytool-extensions/)

All release information is now tracked with Github
 [tags](https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-pytool-extensions/tags),
 [releases](https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-pytool-extensions/releases) and
 [milestones](https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-pytool-extensions/milestones).

## Content

The package contains cli tools and a basic common environment for running tools.
This common environment supports extensions, sub-classing, and plugin to allow
great flexibility for building and maintaining a code tree.

Examples:

* CI build support with plugin
* Binary dependency resolution (nuget, urls, git repos)
* Loggers (markdown, file, memory, and colored console)
* Plugins (pre/post build, function injection)
* Wrapper around edk2 build
* VarDict and ShellEnvrionment to manage key/value pairs consistently across
  entire process
* Nuget Publishing tool to push new packages
* Omnicache - Support a super cache of git repos to speed up creating and
  updating multiple work spaces and minimizing filesystem impact

## Usage

NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you use python virtual environments.
Virtual environments avoid changing the global python workspace and causing
conflicting dependencies.  Virtual environments are lightweight and easy to use.

* To install run `pip install --upgrade edk2-pytool-extensions`
* To use in your python code

    ```python
    from edk2toolext.<module> import <class>
    ```
