Hi Team,

We have setup and configure DNF on all AIX servers to support the ansible things on AIX 7.2 . Now we have migrated to 7.3 so in 7.3 we see python3 package as given below. What is the difference between this python package and DNF depend python. How this DNF things works in AIX 7.3? Is it works in same way as on 7.2? Any suggestion please?

Hi Manoj,

I don't see any packages output.

Anyway, python3 which comes with DNF bundle is shipped to provide just for DNF setup.

This python3 is built with minimal functionality enabled.

Hence, we recommend users to run DNF update once DNF setup is complete.

With "dnf update" DNF and ecosystem will be update to AIX Toolbox python3 which is built with most of the functionalities.

DNF is not dependent on default python3 which comes with AIX 7.3 install.

So, DNF depends on python3 same way as in AIX 7.2.

Thank you @SANGAMESH MALLAYYA 

Please find the package version below. Let us know if there is additional features coming with this lpp. 7.2 version doesn't have that lpp.
