Joe ... I do all my development in WSL. It works exceptionally well with VS Code. Here is the link I used to learn about it and get it setup ...
https://ajeet.dev/dev-environment-set-up-on-windows-to-learn-python/

I then use Git repositories to push up from WSL and then pull down to the IBMi (or my Ubuntu server that I'm also developing on).

I don't run a virtual environment on my IBMi. Mostly because I did not know much about it when I started. Now, though, I always setup a virtual environment for each project I'm working in.

Okay, this is a few more moving pieces than I had planned on this evening. I'll look into it in more detail tomorrow.

Thanks, Richard. I'm sure I'll be reaching out some more. :)

I wonder if I can run this in the Ubuntu Linux that is magically available in Windows 10???

Couple of thoughts:

-I would suggest installing all the Python 3 packages. Should be safe to do so.

-As Kevin said, I would make sure /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin is in your search path and then run: python3 --version You should see something in the 3.6 ish range. I have 3.6.12.

-Possibly install the 5733OPS version of Python if not in use. GO LICPGM.

-You don't need to create a special VENV (Virtual Environment) initially.

-Follow the rest of my instructions and see what happens.

-As a side-note if you're more comfy, you can install MKDocs initially on Windows or Linux to test as well before putting on IBMi.

MKDocs is a great static site generator. I am still liking it after a few weeks with it.

Sounds like you have found the 5733-OPS version. It's likely you need to
set your PATH. See

Thank you, Quintin!? I can now indeed report that my python3 version is
3.4.10!

That's step one.? Now I have to figure out what Jack is talking about.
