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':

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.)
