We had issues with md5 but in our case it was because python had been 
compiled with a different openSSL library...  (The AIX 6 Python partially 
works on AIX 7, but not well enough...)

Not something I've tried yet, presumably there are potential issues around 
account synchronisation there.

Make sure that your python version works properly with your AIX version. 
 Which in the case of AIX 7.1 means you probably have to compile it 
yourself.  Up to date, pre-compiled FOSS is not so easy to find for AIX so 
being able to compile your own is too common. If you are compiling anyway 
then you might as well go for a newer version.

You obviously don't work in the same industry I do... :-)
