    I notice that AIX Toolbox currently has 2.7.16 of python.  This has a few CVE's out against it:

    <for some reason, every time I try to paste in the table, I get told my session has expired.  Please follow URL for list.>

    Unless there's back ported patches for these in the published version, can you advise on your plan to resolve.  My understanding is that 2.7.17+ do not have any outstanding CVEs.
