[edk2-devel] A plea for help

[Hernandez Miramontes, Jose Miguel]

So, the problem is here.
File "C:\EDK2020\district-defend\edk2\BaseTools\Source\Python\Common\Misc.py", line 1638, in __init__
    if ByteArray.tostring() != b'PE\0\0':

see:
https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.9.html

array.array: tostring() and fromstring() methods have been removed. They were aliases to tobytes() and frombytes(), deprecated since Python 3.2. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-38916.)

you could try python 3.8 or cherry pick this change.
