This is even more confusing to me. I am not aware of any difference
between 6.1 and 7.1 that would have any bearing on iSeriesPython. I
just tried to make the point in the other thread that iSeriesPython
should work the same on all releases starting with V5R3.

I have been under the impression that 7.1 has some additional support
that 6,1 doesn't have for PYTHON. Specifically, Jon Paris had several
articles a few months ago and I was left with the impression that I might
be better off waiting to move to 7.1 before I tried to develop anything.
Specifically, DeveloperWorks showed a lot of PTF's devoted to Python
at 7.1 and up and it just seemed like it might be smart to wait.
So you are saying that there is no difference...then why all the PTF's?

iSeries Python is an independent port of Python to IBM i. It does not
come from IBM, and has its own support list. It can be downloaded from
http://www.iseriespython.com/app/ispMain.py/Start?job=Home

Quite independent of this effort, IBM have started to deliver various
open source tools, and one of those tools is Python. The IBM offering
is what Jon wrote about. That comes from 5733-OPS.
