Hello!

In another thread, Jonathan indicated:
"At 11.3.1 python was added for Windows and Linux only. If you want to use python on another platform you will have to upgrade past 11.3.1. Solaris was added at 11.3.2 , Aix was added at 12.1.1 and currently is not available for HP."

According to the release notes, Python has been supported in UniVerse on AIX since 11.3.2, same as Solaris. Are the release notes incorrect?

Brian,

Looking at the release notes for 11.3.2 it does state Python version 3.7 is now bundled with that release of UniVerse and supported on the AIX, Linux,Solaris Sparc, Solaris X86, and Windows platforms. I was looking at the internal tickets and they are not all marked as done in 11.3.2, hence my comments on the versions they were.

Looking deeper It does appear that they are all in 11.3.2 and the internal tickets here on our system have not been marked with the correct versions, I will ensure they are updated correctly to avoid any further confusion.

Thanks,

Thanks for checking Jonathan!

We're in the midst of an upgrade to 11.3.4 and have had the expectation that Python was going to be included. We would have had to do some back pedaling if it wasn't.

Much appreciated!!
