Re: [IBMiOSS] Python, ACS, Open Source and MKDocs

Even that below isn't quite right. may have missed something, but it looks like there are two python3 installations, which is what Kevin was trying to tell me.  So after a few false starts, I ended up with this as my .bashrc:

PKGS=/QOpenSys/pkgs
PATH=$PKGS/bin:$PATH
TERM=xterm
OBJECT_MODE=64
PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ '
export PATH TERM OBJECT_MODE PS1

That works perfectly.  (Technically I didn't need the environment variable PKGS, but I left it there in case I want to add other things to my path).  Then, I had to battle through whatever else I need to get MKDocs installed.  The first thing I had to do was yum install gcc.  Then I did pip3 install mkdocs and that worked.

On to testing!  Thanks for everyone's help so far!

Ah flip it.  I bet it's my path.

It seems you completely glossed over Kevin Adler's response.

I didn't "gloss over it".  I just didn't understand it.  Kevin said I had the 5733-OPS version, but the page he referred me to was about setting a path, not upgrading python.  So I thought he was referring to my python 2.7, not my python 3.4.  Because the python 3.4 was what ACS installed.  Jack points out that I need to upgrade that using yum.  I don't think ACS will do that.

At the end of the day, it seems that the ACS open source support is more of a starting point.  Then you need to use yum to get to the latest and greatest.
