Yes, I am sad that my support is not sufficient for closing the gap to being a recognized platform. No additional discussion. IMHO - while AIX may not be important to Python - Python working properly is important for AIX users who need applications developed using Python. My start came about because I was asked to help to get a Python application working - and that continues to be my primary area of interest - supporting users. In that sense - supporting users (and I see someone doing a self-build as a user) I am willing to re-work the information needed to build Python3 on AIX. Where the file is stored is not exciting. IMHO, not having that directory may make it easier to find. I only found it by using find, xargs, and grep. Fast forward - thank you Petr - I'll get something started and add a link, read replace the current contents with a link, once I have something - and whether this info ever becomes part of the distribution, or not - is something that can be determined later. > _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org > To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ > Message archived at > https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/O5KPNXWTFLGRB6XAAS3WXYYYHNFDXVG7/ > Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
