Re: [IBMiOSS] I want to apply the latest PTF related to Python3

As I tried to explain, and as the link tries to make clear, yum is not
guaranteed to work on 7.1. You probably need some PTF (or maybe a few)
that updates 7.1. I think that is the situation I was in when my
workplace was on 7.1. I don't remember which PTF(s), and I haven't
been able to find it by searching.

Aha! Found it! (I searched my own work email for the message where I
ask our admin to install the PTF for me. Of course he didn't.) At
least for us (your workplace may be different), the PTF we needed was
SI55566:

Since our admin never did install it, I don't know if fixing that
would have then exposed some other problem. It would not be surprising
to me if getting yum to work on 7.1 is a game of whack-a-mole.
