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.

Right. The IBM offering is what I have been calling "IBM's Python for
PASE". I call it that specifically to emphasize

1. It comes from IBM, not some third party
2. It runs on PASE, not in the "native" i environment

On both of those points, it differs from iSeriesPython.

In addition to those two points, IBM's Python for PASE is only
available for OS 7.1 and up while iSeriesPython is available for V5R3
and up.
