Hi, PEP 11 was recently deeply reworked to have "tiered platform support": https://peps.python.org/pep-0011/
AIX is not supported by Python by this updated PEP. You can add a new AIX buildbot worker, but results may be ignored if nobody pays attention to it. See https://github.com/python/buildmaster-config/ to add a new worker. You can look into old commits which add a new worker. On my side, I'm already maintaining (too) many buildbot workers, so I simply cannot maintain more machines (analyze buildbot failures and try fix them, at least report them). Currently, there are already 2 AIX workers. Both are failing for at least 4 months and nobody tried to fix them: * https://buildbot.python.org/all/#/builders/438 * https://buildbot.python.org/all/#/builders/704 On PPC64 AIX XLC 3.x, Python even fails to build. It seems like the disk is full: --- xlc_r -c -O -qalias=noansi -qmaxmem=-1 -I./Include/internal -I. -I./Include -DPy_BUILD_CORE -o Python/deepfreeze/deepfreeze.o Python/deepfreeze/deepfreeze.c 1506-300 (U) Insufficient storage available. /opt/IBM/xlc/13.1.3/bin/.orig/xlc_r: 1501-230 (S) Internal compiler error; please contact your Service Representative. For more information visit: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21110810 make: *** [Makefile:2430: Python/deepfreeze/deepfreeze.o] Error 40 --- On PPC64 AIX 3.x, 5 tests failed: * test_cppext: "gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory" (missing C++ compiler?) * test_eintr: test_flock() failed with PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied * test_shutil: test_copyfile_nonexistent_dir() failed with AssertionError("FileNotFoundError not raised by copyfile") * test_tools: test_freeze_simple_script() failed with: [Errno 85] Too many levels of symbolic links * test_zipfile: test_create_directory_with_write() failed with: AssertionError: 1103101968 != 5398069264 I'm not sure that today, it's worth to add a 3rd AIX machine if nobody is available to fix issues on the two existing AIX machines. By the way, a quick search in Python bug tracker give more more than 20 open issues specific to AIX. Oldest issues are open since 2010.
