Re: 7.2 Python PTFs FYI

[Justin Dearing <zippy1981@xxxxxxxxx>]

Buck,

Is it possible a the PTFs were all python pip modules? IBM might have
wanted to bless a hundred modules or so as official by makingthem PTFs
instead of fhaving you install via "pip install" Most of the linux distos
do that for many perl and python modules.

Is there an easy way to go throughthe PTFs and list the stream files
installing them will create on the IFS?
