Hi,
The array object in Python 3.9 no longer supports fromstring() and tostring() methods. EDK2 BaseTools use these methods, and therefore the EDK2 build fails when using Python 3.9. See the trace below.
Thanks,
Sergey
build.py...
: error C0DE: Tools code failure
Please send email to devel at edk2.groups.io for help, attaching following call stack trace!
