Overview
This page documents the initial stages of Python development on the i. It is meant to be a running log of notes rather than a structured article as there is a lot of trial-and-error during this stage.
Notes
General
- On the IFS, /uwdsrc was created to be the root folder for further development.
- Krengeltech remains the best candidate as a 'Professional Services/Development Team', as they specialize in 5733-OPS, and have a close relationship with IBM in this area.
- Bitbucket and GitHub repos were created, but BitBucket will likely prevail as they offer free private repos (they're also preferred by Krengeltech for this reason).
- git is installed on the i, and connections to Bitbucket and GitHub have been established i.e. /uwdsrc syncs to bitbucket.org:norwinu/uwdsrc.git
Python
- Python 3 is installed through 5733-OPS Option 2. The current version is 3.4.4 (-~~)
Django
- Django 1.7 is verified to be the most workable version. 1.8 is supposed to be supported
- Bitbucket
