AIX Open Source Packages

Description

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java. Python includes modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac and MFC).

Programmers can write new built-in modules for Python in C or C++. Python can be used as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface. This package contains most of the standard Python modules.

Python is available in 32-bit and 64-bit. The 64-bit Python programs have been renamed appropriately by adding the suffix _64 to the command, e.g., python in 64-bit becomes python_64, python-config becomes python_64-config etc.

Version: 2.7.5-1

Please note:

As the Python versions 2.6.X and 2.7.X are not binary compatible one has to decide for a "production version".
The current "production version" is still V2.6.X although V2.7.X is available now.
Changing this from V2.6.X to V2.7.X will require all Python modules to be recompiled against V2.7.X.
