Hi there, I can speak a bit on this topic if you want to use the IBM drivers on 
64 bit linux for python 3.  This is the wrong forum for the discussion, but 
you're going to have a long week ahead of you trying to find the answer so I 
can shortcut that for you.  

The drivers released by IBM are not maintained (last I ran into this problem.  
The issue is that the drivers are (or were) not functional on 64 bit linux, as 
of the last time I tested them, and required a binary patch to fix an overflow 
or some other issue with allocating integer or double space.  Luckily we made 
some internal documentation, a script, and a patched .deb based on some info we 
stumbled across.

The way to get this all working is described in this paste:
