[New-bugs-announce] [issue43666] AIX: Lib/_aix_support.py may break in a WPAR environment

[Michael Felt]

New submission from Michael Felt <aixtools at felt.demon.nl>:

When working in a WPAR (workload partition) the routines supporting aix_platform() may fail if there is no related builddate for bos.mp64.

a) the fileset queried is changed to `bos.rte`
b) an extreme value (9988) is returned for any similar (unexpected) situations - so that, in any case, the build of Python can proceed.
