    One interesting thing in wheels package:

    import rdb
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/python$root/lib/python3.10/rdb.py", line 1, in <module>
    from _rdb import *
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_rdb'

    Looks like Rdb is expected (but obviously not ready yet).

    Oh dear. I hope they relent and provide updates.

    Good news.

    I wonder how long it will be before someone asks for Python 2.7 on VMS ? :-)

    Good news.

    It exist on VMS Alpha and VMS Itanium.

    Will probably never exist on VMS x86-64.

    In CPython flavor that is.

    Jython 2.7 has run fine on VMS x86-64 since Java became
    available.

    I really hope not. We should have migrated to 3.x by now, it's been
    10 years.

    I know what I said but I just got bit in the arse with a software
    package that still needed Python 2.7. I just don't have the time to
    update it to use Python 3.x. <roll eyes>

    There is a Python 2 to Python 3 conversion script as part of Python 3,
    but it is not perfect. The thing it got wrong for me was when it converted
    code that issues a prompt and then waits for input without an intermediate CRLF.

    Nice one, thanks, I will give that a try at some point and maybe send
    patches upstream for the package.
