  • 1.  Is Python on Z dead?

    Posted 03/14/25 04:54 AM

    Hallo, 

    while trying to get in touch with Python on Z, the pax Download mentions a Python topic group and redirects to 

    - IBM TechXchange Community

    Ibm remove preview
    - IBM TechXchange Community

    But this link redirects to a 404 .

    Is Python on Z dead as it looks like for me?

    Hi @Christian Friberg

    "I think" they are updating the platform :-)

    I have problems with badges (maybe Python too).

    I don't think it's dead, at least I sure hope not.   I'm involved right now testing a new but not yet released product that IBM is working on, and a significant part of it is written in Python.  If IBM were planning on abandoning it, I doubt they'd still be developing in it.

    Hello Christian, 

    Thank you for posting this issue here. Looks like most of our community URLs have been updated. We've fixed the pax download site. You should see the updated URLs now.

    I believe the links should be working now, but the general concept of Python on Z is definitely not dead, as I'm sure many folks will attest!

    If you want to discuss this topic more, I would suggest reaching out to Emma Skovgard and/or Steven Pitman!
