Since the initial email got cross-posted, would it be possible to drop
python-dev from any discussing that doesn't directly involve Python itself
(e.g. we don't need to be involved in a discussion about whether you all
have threading on UEFI)?

IMO this library has some crucial problems like changing the TPL
during context switching.
For my project "EFIDroid" I've invested many months analyzing, testing
and implementing my own th

FYI, this library adds thread support to UEFI:

Note that the library is GPLv2, ...but the author (a 1-person pr
Would you consider adding thread support in this port of Python for EDK2 shell?

Christian, Antoine, Brett: Thanks for the clarification on what an official
support would require. As Christian mentioned, sending simple headers
patches is an obvious starting point, no matter if the support becomes
official or not.

Thank you. I have started discussions within Intel for updating the UEFI
CPython implementation to Python 3.x. The TianoCore community would appreciate
contributions by people with Python experience to bring this code up to current
standards.
Please review the contribution guidelines
The official guidelines on what it takes to add official support for a
platform is https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0011/#supporting-platforms.
Basically it's a core dev willing to sponsor and maintain the work, a
buildbot, and implicitly at least a 5 year commitment.
