Hello!

We just upgraded to a new version of python on Z using mini-conda. It worked great.

The only issue we have is that pip doesn't seem to be included in the new install.  Is that correct? Is it hiding elsewhere or is this a DIY kind of thing where we'll have to download from elsewhere and install?  Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi Jennifer,  At this time IBM's z/OS Port of Python supports a recent pip and Rocket's pip (which you can download from here) is very old) whereas z/OS Miniconda makes use only of Rocket's z/OS Python port.  We are working on this.  In the meantime if you want conda and the latest pip you will need two Python's instances.  Stay tuned...
