One interesting thing in wheels package:

>>> import rdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/python$root/lib/python3.10/rdb.py", line 1, in <module>
from _rdb import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_rdb'

Looks like Rdb is expected (but obviously not ready yet).

The laugh is that, according to the release notes, it will not run on
the CL VMDK, as that doesn't have 9.2-2 update 1

Oh dear. I hope they relent and provide updates.

Good news.

I wonder how long it will be before someone asks for Python 2.7 on VMS ? :-)

I really hope not. We should have migrated to 3.x by now, it's been 10
years.

It exist on VMS Alpha and VMS Itanium.

Will probably never exist on VMS x86-64.

In CPython flavor that is.

Jython 2.7 has run fine on VMS x86-64 since Java became
available.

I know what I said but I just got bit in the arse with a software
package that still needed Python 2.7. I just don't have the time to
update it to use Python 3.x. <roll eyes>

There is a Python 2 to Python 3 conversion script as part of Python 3,
but it is not perfect. The thing it got wrong for me was when it converted
code that issues a prompt and then waits for input without an intermediate
CRLF.

Nice one, thanks, I will give that a try at some point and maybe send
patches upstream for the package.
