1.
Always always always develop in a virtual environment
*
python -m venv my_virtual_environment --system-site-packages
*
source my_virtual_environment/bin/activate
2.
pip install someModule
3.
But always check for the module first via yum search because popular hard-to-build modules are provided by IBM in the yum repo

Thanks for the reply Jack, but my problem was not related to the coding part - more the installation of modules on Ibm i.

Best regards

At Seiden Group LLC we offer support contracts which include online hand-holding assistance figuring this stuff out.
That said, Alan Seiden and I will probably be in Sweden this autumn if you just want to hang out and talk Python 🙂
Doing it on your own — here is a nice tutorial https://www.w3schools.com/python/<https://www.w3schools.com/python/>
