[OE-core] ovmf fails when python sqlite module is not installed on host

[Ahsan, Noor]

More info. This script is being called

/var/mentor/sfarooq/MEL/181206_1816/install_uno/mel/11/workspace/build/tmp/work/corei7-64-mel-linux/ovmf/git-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/edk2_basetools/BaseTools/BinWrappers/PosixLike/build

Which is calling python directly. We get it executed from tmp/hosttools/python which is symbolic link to /usr/local/bin/python.

Subject: [OE-core] ovmf fails when python sqlite module is not installed on host

Hello,

While building ovmf recipe I faced one issue regarding sqlite python module. The recipe is trying to access host python packages in order to build it. On my system I had multiple puthon version installed and the one which Ovmf was picking did not had sqlite module installed so I got this error

I also inherited the recipe with  python3native but it is still accessing host python. Can you guide me how we can modify this recipe so that it start using build system python3 packages.
