    I am trying to install on AIX 7.1 python-2.7.12-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm, but I have to install requirements such as libcrypto, libgdbm, and so on. For example, when I want to download libcrypto by using "AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications", I can not find this package to download it from the list. How can I find these packages?

    Libcrypto comes from OpenSSL, a cryptographic software. We won't normally keep crypto related softwares in AIX Toolbox. You can get it from "AIX web download pack programs". Google it and you will find the link. It comes as a rte fileset. So after installing the fileset, please run "updtvpkg" to update the rpm database.

    These packages comes as part of base AIX/Expansion pack and different from AIX toolbox.

    AIX toolbox open source software try to make use of packages if it is provided by AIX.

    I would like to know how to install Python in the AIX Server running AIX 7.1 TL 5SP2.

    The AIX server is on the isolated network. Which site we can download all fileset or rpms via a Windows PC?

    After installation, we need the following additional python library in AIX:

    matplotlib, numpy,

    Which site we can download from it?

    Have a look at this article --> https://developer.ibm.com/articles/configure-yum-on-aix/

    AIX Toolbox won't provide matplotlib, numpy modules. 
    After installing python3 & python3-devel rpms, you can invoke "python3 -m pip install <module> " to install the modules.
