+ There are several tools implemented in Python and wxPython Widgets in the
+ Tools/Python directory. These are optional tools, and are not necessary in
+ order to use or build the edk2 code. In order to use them you must
+ install Python 2.4.x and wxWidgets 2.8.x for your platform. The tools
+ have been tested and work correctly on OS X, Linux and Windows.
+
+ There is a script called Install_Python_OSX.sh that will download and
+ install the correct versions for OS X. For other platforms, please find
+ the installers for your platform at the following sites:
+
+ - http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.4.4/ (Python interpreter)
+ - http://www.wxpython.org/download.php#binaries (Python GUI extensions)
+
+ Your linux distribution may contain packages of python and wxPython, which
+ should work, provided they are are compatible with the above specified
+ versions.
