Paramiko for Python3

[Duckabush]

Thanks, we will wait.

Our UniVerse install is by Rocket Software.

I have updated the Python3 installable - to not need gnu.gettext or gnu.libiconv, and have updated the aixtools wiki with the page python.wheels - which is the direction I want to go. For now, installp is still needed.

p.s. - I have contacted Rocket to get a trial version of Universe. My hope is that you could reconfigure Universe to find my Python (and just leave the version supplied by Rocket alone).

Any questions - problems encountered?

[Michael]

@Duckabush - is this working for you - or do you have a question?

[Michael]

I had a quick chat with rocket software support.

Their version of Python (probably still 3.4.1) is embedded (at p[robable /opt/uv/python/....
There should be no conflict with their Python installation and mine residing at /opt/bin and /opt/lib/python3.7

Hope this helps!

Thanks, we are checking it out today. Will report back. Thanks so much for your help.

@Michael

We ran
installp -d aixtools.python3.3.7.0.0.32bit.I -a all

It said python was already installed and didn't continue to install. When I tried to run python it is now uninstalled. Did I do something wrong?

[Michael]

The command format is:

# installp -d <directory-name> -a all ## to install everything in directory

Note: when directory-name is a file-name, it only looks at that one file.

To see what is in a directory (read, what installp sees as being offered) compare

# installd -d <file-name> -L

with


# inutoc <dir-name> # just to be sure the .toc aka table-of-contents data is current
# installp -d <dir-name> -L

Hope this helps!

[Duckabush]

Thanks, worked like a charm.

Okay, maybe it didn't nothing is showing up on /opt/bin at this point.

Try "# lslpp -f <fileset-name>".

There is a dependency on the 'latest' openssl.base (1.0.2.1601) for aixtools.python3.rte.

Please use: "# lslpp -L openssl.base" and let me know the result.
