Let's dig deeper into the world of Python on z/OS. In this talk tailored for Systems Programmers, we'll dig into the nuances of getting and using packages and why they're important. We'll also uncover the potential of Z Open Automation Utilities and how it can be used as a package to manipulate data sets, run jobs, and invoke load modules. We'll walk through the building of a script so you can leverage all these concepts to help automate some of your own tasks. Finally, we'll show how to operationalize your scripts so they can be used in your critical environments. You don't want to miss this opportunity to learn how to use one of the world's most powerful programming languages to sharpen your Systems Programming tools.
