I couldn't remember how far back iSeriesPython went so I chickened out and qualified it with "Open Source products provided by IBM" ....

Thanks for weighing in.

You may want to post over on the Open Source list (opensource@xxxxxxxxxxxx)

they may also be lurking here. And, just to be clear an "iSeries" won't be
able to run the current Open Source products provided by IBM because an
iSeries is no longer a supported model. But an IBM i running a Power 6 or
better processor and 7.1 or higher of the IBM i OS should do just fine....

All true, but it is also possible he was talking about iSeriesPython,
which runs on everything from V5R3 on up. (I am aware of older
versions that have been used in production on V4R4 machines, but I
don't know how you would go about getting those older versions today.)
