[Python-Dev] Buildbot for AIX

[Sébastien Sablé]

Hi Martin,

I got no reply concerning those modifications to the buildbot script so 
that I could run 2 slaves on AIX.

I am able to spend some time at the moment on Python for AIX because we 
are migrating the product in my company from AIX 5.3 to AIX 6.1.
However once this is done, by the end of November, it will be more 
difficult for me to justify spending too much time on this builbot 
installation and on Python AIX bugs.

So it would be nice if I could get this slave running as soon as 
possible, so that I could spend a few more days solving some of the 
remaining issues on this platform.

regards
