itoolkit can be pip installed just fine* so long as you have GCC and some
other tools installed.
ibm-db can not be pip installed directly since the IBM i-related changes
have not been merged upstream. My suggest would be to either git clone or
download one of the tagged releases from my github, eg
[1]
https://github.com/kadler/python-ibmdb/tree/2.0.5.9 or
[2]
https://github.com/kadler/python-ibmdb/archive/2.0.5.9.zip
From the cloned/extracted directory, you can do
CFLAGS='-DPASE' python3 setup.py bdist_wheel
to create a wheel file, then do
pip install dist/ibm_db-*.whl
to install it in to your virtual environment.
You'll probably need to copy the SQLCLI header files as well. We have a
package for this now (sqlcli-devel), but Python doesn't look there so you
will have to pass -I/QOpenSys/pkgs/include/sqlcli (? I'm not sure the path
here - currently doing this from memory as I try to recover my laptop).
Good luck!
*on non-IBM i systems it can also be pip installed, you just need a trick
to disable building ilibcall, since that only works on IBM i

Subject: Re: [IBMiOSS] ibm-db and itoolkit into venv
Date: Mon, Apr 1, 2019 10:58 AM
Hi John,
Thanks for your reply.
I installed 3.6.6 via the Open Souce Package Management option from IBMi
ACS.
Forgive my ignorance but I don't know if this uses yum under the covers
or
if there is another way to use yum to do the install directly.
I can see a python3 update (on the Open Source Package Management
Screen)
to version 3.6.8-1.
So I could for sure run that update.
But I assume this will just update the version in /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin
I could then re-create my venv and it would be at the 3.6.8-1 version of
python but the venv wouldn't not contain ibm-db and itoolkit.
To install packages into my venv I'd normally activate the venv then pip
install the required packages.
But I thought from Justin's response to an earlier email that that
process
would not work for ibm-db and itoolkit.
If I can't pip-install them into the venv I'm not sure how to get them
into
the venv?
thanks,
Craig
