@BTaskaya - can you elaborate on what issues you ran into? Perhaps open an 
issue on the repository I started to work on getting this improved.

Thanks!

[issue39798] Update and Improve README.AIX

[Michael Felt]

Michael Felt  added the comment:

Thanks for asking!

Last December I was thinking about this - and what would be the best way to 
proceed.

The reply I liked best suggested working on this - outside of CPython 
"bugfixes" - perhaps later moving bits into the core.

So, motivated by your question I opened an area in github - 
https://github.com/aixtools/pythonAIXDOC.

a) I have done a quick re-write of the current README.AIX - with stress on 
re-write.

b) I have several years experience with packaging Python for AIX (for which I 
use the IBM compiler) and also manage a Python-buildbot that uses gcc. What I 
don't want to do is just pour forth lots of notes re: things I have discovered 
and learned.

c) I would appreciate hearing your experiences re: using Python on AIX. Report 
issues via pythonAIXDOC or my packaging forums 
(http://forums.rootvg.net/aixtools) and I will reply, study, etc.. as much as I 
have time to. The experiences (especially frustrations when it works this way 
(...) on platform Y, but not (the same, or at all) on AIX.

Hope this helps!

[Batuhan Taskaya]

New submission from Batuhan Taskaya :

I was building python on AIX but the old README.AIX file didn't help much. It 
would be super cool to someone who is familiar with AIX update and improve that 
file with all new additions and current issues about AIX.
