Rockets Python could do I/O to MVS data sets. Rocket also ported the
Python CFFI package which would make writing a library in pure Python a
snip. I wonder if IBM has ported CFFI? I would open an RFE. IBM have
created MVS file I/O packages for golang and Node.js.

I have been looking around on various IBM websites trying to find the IBM
versions of the normal python language and python standard library
documentation to answer a few z/OS-specific python questions.
1. Does the z/OS implementation of the python language standard function "open()" accept z/OS Unix System Services
file name format for MVS flat and PDS(E) datasets (e.g., "//'MVS.FLAT.FILE'" and "//'MVS.PDS(PDSMEM)'")?
(I.E., under the covers does it use the "open()" or "fopen()" C library function?)
2. Is the "zos_util" library package available in all versions of the z/OS
python SDK?
TIA for any RTFM or url's you can point me to. PDF's of the documentation for
offline reading would be welcome if they are available.
