Better option is to setup YUM and install packages with YUM.
Have a look at this article on setting up YUM in AIX.
https://developer.ibm.com/technologies/systems/articles/configure-yum-on-aix/

Hi, you could also try the following as this will give you the latest rpm & yum packages (yum bundle includes Python plus dependencies).

Download latest rpm from IBM and place in /var/tmp
http://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/INSTALLP/ppc/rpm.rte
cd /var/tmp
installp -caYgd /var/tmp rpm.rte rpm.rte

Then get the latest yum bundle (includes Python) from https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc/yum_bundle.tar and place in /var/tmp
tar xvf yum_bundle.tar
chmod 644 *.rpm
rpm -Uvh /var.tmp/*.rpm

Hi ,

Hi, you'll need to download to a PC/Laptop first and then transfer to the LPAR before running the installations for rpm and yum.

Hi Steve , 

Thank you for your response , 

I have started with this option : i downloaded first python with some dependencies and when trying installing i got other required dependencies etc ...
and the cycle did not stop 

I'm just wondering if there is a bundle of packages that can be downloaded at the same time ?

thank you

Hi, you need to download (1) rpm, so you have the latest, and then (2) the yum bundle which includes the necessary dependencies.  It'll be easier than trying to work out what you do/don't need Python dependency wise.

How can yum bundle will install the python with all dependencies ?

Hi, no problem, just use your browser to pull down the rpm and tym_bundle.tar and then transfer to the LPAR.

In the yum_bundle you'll have the following, all of which get installed when you run the rpm -Uvh /var.tmp/*.rpm

#AIXOpenSource

Hi,

There are two ways to install any package from AIX toolbox. The best way is using yum. Because that is the best way to resolve to rpm dependencies. 
If you are on a private network then you can configure a local yum repo as it is done for any other rpm based Linux system.
To configure yum for AIX https://developer.ibm.com/technologies/systems/articles/configure-yum-on-aix/

If you do not want to configure yum for some reason then you will have to manually download all the dependencies from AIX toolbox and install them.
As you can see from your output these are primary dependencies for python3 and once you download them and try to install you may discover additional one.
So download all of the following in a directory and try to install using rpm (rpm -ivh *.rpm)
