The ZLIB package on AXP require OpenVMS V7.1 and provide shareables
optimized for generic Apha processor and ones for EV56 processor and later
platforms.
All others packages require OpenVMS V7.3 on AXP and OpenVMS V8.2 on IA64.
Tom Uijldert has build kits for OpenVMS
AXP V7.2 (for zlib, libz and Python). These kits can be found in
Tom Uijldert's OpenVMS V7.2 kits.
If you wish to compile the software yourself, complete source
packages are available
here or from the
North American mirror site.
Some of these tools require (or run better on) an ODS-5 volume.
The integrated LDDRIVER present within OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-1 and later
can be use to build an ODS-5 container.
The necessary material to use it is include in the tools directory for
each processor type.

Webware for Python V0.9
Webware for Python is a suite of Python packages and tools for developing object-oriented, web-based applications. The suite uses well known design patterns and includes a fast Application Server, Servlets, Python Server Pages (PSP), Object-Relational Mapping, Task Scheduling, Session Management, and many other features. Webware is very modular and easily extended.
Webware for Python is well proven and platform-independent. It is compatible with multiple web servers, database servers and operating systems.
Webware for Python on OpenVMS can run as a "classical" multi threaded application server or in a WASD CGIPlus environment (multi processes, multi accounts).
By default, the installation procedure installs Python in the SYS$COMMON:[WEBWARE090] directory.
To install it in another directory, dev:[dir], use the /DESTINATION parameter of
the PRODUCT command. In this case, Python will be installed in the
dev:[dir.WEBWARE090] directory.
Installation
Make the directory which holds the ZIP file your default directory
In AppServer.config update variables Host, EnableAdapter, AdapterPort, EnableHTTP, HTTPPort.
In Application.config update variables AdminPassword, you can optionally update others variables.
Start the server
Create a procedure run_server.com which contains:
$ set proc/par=extended
$ @python_vms:setup
$ set default dev:[dir.demo]
$! environ variable host/hostname is used by webware in ...miscutils]funcs.py
$ HOST = f$trnlnm("TCPIP$INET_HOST","LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE",,"EXECUTIVE")
$ python Launch.py ThreadedAppServer
Start the server using the previous created procedure.
Remember, all PCSI kits listed below are also available from the North American
mirror site and the Australian mirror site.
