Python is now being delivered and packaged for IBM i. It is available through both options 2 and 5 of 5733-OPS (Open Source for IBM i). Option 2 contains the Python 3.4 runtime, which installs to the directory /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/OPS/Python3.4 while Option 5 contains the Python 2.7 runtime, installed in /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/OPS/Python2.7.

Given those things, any Python code you write for the i (at least for
quite a while) will be run using iSeriesPython. And that is an
implementation of Python 2.7, with little or no prospect of ever
having a 3.x version.

Well except for the part about them already delivering Python 3.0 today.
:-) 5733-OPS Option 2. Just install it, it's FREE!!!
