Re: 7.2 Python PTFs FYI

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I would guess that there would be OS PTF's that are needed by Python so 
that it will work with ibm_db and other components.  SQL would be an 
example in that case (ibm_db assumes the correct execution of SQL 
statements, perhaps patched by a previous PTF)
