Re: [IBMiOSS] Python Install Cheat Sheet

[Roger Harman <roger.harman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm good with all that.    Python 3 with "import requests" is what I'm using on my PC.

I don't have admin authority on these boxes (boy, I miss that) so I have to have our Ops guys install.  

I will need to run this out of Robot on a regular basis so I have some research there.

Thanks.

Do you know what python packages you need?  Do you know if you can do it
all with Python 3?

For Python 3

-Install LICPGM 5733OPS option 2.  For best results, just install ALL of
the 5733OPS options
-Install PTF Group SF99707

Python 3 should now be installed.

Do you know how to connect to the PASE shell to run python scripts:

- STRTCPSVR *SSHD

Then, connect to your IBM i using a shell client like Putty (assuming your
client is Windows)

Once you get a command prompt - type:     python3

...to start a python shell or:     python3  <pgm name>

...to execute a Python program

Note - I'm sitting at home typing all this so it isn't tested, but those
are the basics to get it running.  Other, please chime in if I've missed
anything.

Roger - if you need any further help with any of the other steps let me
know.  I was assuming you were familiar with the shell command line, but
that may or may not be true.  I may be away from my computer tomorrow but
will get back to you if you have more questions.
