IBM Power Ideas Portal
This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

Robust Python and Perl support are very easily installed by going to "Help->Eclipse Marketplace" and typing in "PyDev" or "Perl" and hitting Enter. This will give our customers the very latest support and option in a rapidly evolving open source world at no cost and great convenience. We feel that it would be a disservice to our customers to slow them down and limit their options and potentially cause install conflicts by integrating this support in RDi. For large customers that restrict access to the internet, these open source offerings also provide P2 installs that can be made available within their firewalls. So it is our policy not to interfere with our customer's access to these fine open source offerings.
