One might ask then why IBM has not done so.
I would suggest that they have not had a requirement. IBM use Python in
their analytics products and for new stuff like Ansible. Same with
golang, they need it for Kubernetes and OpenShift for z/CX containers. I
doubt very much if many customers have tried golang. It's a great
language now it supports generics. As fast as C++ with many advantages.

I know Rocket's port of python has some documented enhancements to support MVS dataset access among
other things, but I have failed to find any documentation on the IBM websites for an IBM-produced

"IBM-specific" functional enhancements to the base language facilities.
Is there any such documentation? Or are the python.org documentation websites
the only reference material available for the IBM port of python? (i.e., no
functional enhancements at all are provided in the IBM port)
Correct! It's trivial to write an MVS I/O package if you have a C compiler.
