I'm running python 3.6.6 (on the IBMi) and have just set up a venv version
which seems to be working fine.

The fact that you are running 3.6 rather than 3.4 suggests you have
installed Python 3 via yum. This is a Good Thing.

ibm-db
itoolkit

If these cannot be pip installed - are there any instructions anyone could
point me to that are complete and exact enough for a newbie to follow?

These should also be installed via yum. Since you presumably installed
Python 3 via yum, you should be able to do these as well. If you don't
know the exact name to type, do 'yum list' to get a complete listing.

Incidentally, the folks at IBM are releasing new RPMs fairly
frequently. We are at Python 3.6.8 now. If you have the time, 'yum
upgrade' will go through everything you've installed via yum and
update to the latest available. I'm not completely sure about the
difference between 'update' and 'upgrade', but it seems you use the
former for individual packages and the latter for your whole system.
Use 'yum --help' and/or Google for more information on how to use yum.
