Python 2.3.2 on AIX5.1 with IBM C compiler

[Patrick Useldinger]

Has anyone successfully compiled Python in this configuration?

I am trying to convince our Unix people to use Python, but they have
been put off by the apparent difficulty to compile the previous version
on their AIX machines. They are tempted to use Perl, just because it
comes pre-compiled on their machines.

I am not a Aix system engineer, but a happy Python programmer and I have
offered them my help. My only try at compiling Python was on SUSE 8.2,
and I have had absolutely no problems...

I'd appreciate if somebody could point me to known issues regarding
this.
