Re: [IBMiOSS] Building cryptography for python2

That particular error just means you need to "pip2 install cffi" first.

If you need any hints on how IBM built any of their packages, you can find
all answers to every package IBM has built here:
ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/ibmi/products/pase/rpms/repo/src/

For instance, the spec file for the Python3 package shows the necessary
runtime dependencies
Requires: python3-cffi
Requires: python3-asn1crypto
Requires: python3-idna
Requires: python3-six

The BuildRequires shows you everything that was needed to build a package.
For instance, if you chased down the
spec for the python3-cffi module you'd see
BuildRequires: python3-devel
BuildRequires: python3-pip
BuildRequires: libffi-devel
BuildRequires: pkg-config
BuildRequires: python3-pycparser

So you'll have some time to spend building dependencies (probably 7/8 in
total) but overall this should be a pretty doable exercise.
Start with "yum install libffi-devel pkg-config python2-six"
Then "pip2 install pycparser cffi asn1crypto idna"
... and go from there!

Sent by: "OpenSource" <opensource-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I see that python3 has the cryptography library but not python2 . I am
on V7R4 and python 2.7.17 installed through the Open Source Package
manager (the only way OSS has been installed on this machine). I get
the following error:

bash-4.4$ pip2 install cryptography
DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 will reach the end of its life on January 1st,
2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 won't be maintained after

that date. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.7.

Searches turned up nothing useful.cffi is installed: (with "pip2 install

cffi") just can't quite sort out what the error is trying to tell me
except that _cffi_backend.so shared object isn't found.
