My father in law has an AS/400 at his place of business, and I wouldn't mind
being able to script him up some stuff on AS/400 using Python. I sure as
Heck am not going to learn RPG!  RPG makes even COBOL look nice. ;-)

What a foreboding environment that is.  Without so much as a recognizeable
command shell on this system, I have a hard time doing anything.

With the disclaimer that I know nothing about AS/400s, and I only
occassionaly have access to one, I am also interested in putting Python on
an AS/400.
