Hi

I just tried to install PYTHWHLS A1.1-6FIX06. It appears to come in a 32 and 64bit version. I tried to install them both so thnat the user can choiose what he/she needs. However if I do so I get an error "resolve conflicting requiremnents for file [wheel]Automat-22.10.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl

Wheels 64 bit version is only for Python 64 bit, wheels 32 bit is only for Python 32 bit.
To use both of them, you must install all to the different folders. Do not mix them.
Also, to choose the current version in 64/32 user must define logical names:
PYTHON$ROOT - the root folder where desired Python kit is installed
PYTHON_WHEELS$ROOT - the root folder where desired wheels kit is installed
PYTHONUSERBASE - folder that Python uses for installing packages, each Python version must have its own user folder.

Hello,

I also noticed the 32/64 options for the Python Wheels kit (note this is a few months after the original post).

You said, "Wheels 64 bit version is only for Python 64 bit, wheels 32 bit is only for Python 32 bit."

As far as I can tell there is only one version of Python3.10 for VMS, and I assume it's 32-bit. (Which I also assume means it operates using 32-bit address pointers rather than 64-bit address pointers).

Can you please clarify?

Thanks,
Jeremy Begg
