Spent some hours - experimenting... So - short story - it works. There remains a big chance for failure though as the current tag ignores differences in TL level, build_date, etc.. Also, a source for failure, is no recognition for 32-bit or 64-bit.
However, focusing on the good news - the wheels install - without a compiler being called. Looking Forward!! AIX has a long history of letting binaries from the past be reused: See: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_aix_72/install/binary_compatability.html ++++++ The gritty details, for the curious/interested After having used devpi (client) to upload to a test devpi-server I pointed my pip at the devpi-server to download the packages. Note: using default pipy "source" I would get two .gz files. The initial upload is from an AIX 6.1 server, the download here is to an AIX 7.1 server.
