RE: 7.2 Python PTFs FYI

I've seen a similar order with other LIC pgm when using SNDPTFORD.

If you let the default for Check PTF . . . . . . . . . . . *No ; instead of changing to *YES,

It's possible that the PTF order will include all PTF for all languages, resulting in hundreds of PTFs.

I looked at the cover letters for the PTFs noted; they seemed to be concerned with changing an incorrect owner rather than anything drastic, so that would explain why there were no version no. changes or other visible differences.

As to the hundreds of PTFs you mentioned - where did you actually see these ? Did the PTF numbers show up in the PTF order or somewhere else ?.

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?

The developerWorks wiki for Python has a new page for Python PTFs:

https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki
/IBM%20i%20Technology%20Updates/page/Python%20PTFs

I see that there are some new ones, SI58191 - SI58195. So I ordered
them: SNDPTFORD PTFID((SI58191) (SI58192) (SI58193) (SI58194)
(SI58195))

I was a bit surprised when I saw what looked like hundreds of PTFs
for
V7R1M0 to be pulled down. When the SNDPTFORD had completed, I
counted the *SAVF objects which have V7R1M0 in the description and
there are more than 600 of them!

DSPPTFAPYI only shows the 5 PTFs I ordered plus a pre-req, SI58278.
LODPTF and APYPTF seemed to go fine. So I deleted all those 7.1
save files. There were some for 5770-999, 5770-SS1, 5770-SC1, and 5770-SC1.

The LPAR seems fine but it sure is curious that it downloaded all
that
7.1 stuff. CALL QP2TERM, python3 --version responds with 'Python
3.4.2', which is exactly the same as the LPAR without those PTFs so
I'm not sure I really got anything accomplished.
