Internally, IBM has been discussing how to improve its participation in Open Source Software CI Testers to ensure that IBM POWER and IBM System z have better coverage. IBM may be able to help with hosting an open build service of diverse systems. We don't have a complete solution, but maybe we can use the Python Buildbot Fleet concept and this group to develop a solution.
That would be very handy, as there's a patch to add AF_IUCV support in http://bugs.python.org/issue23830, which we don't currently have a way to test upstream.
Neale suggested on that issue that the Linux Foundation might also be able to help out with s390x access, but having multiple test systems for any given architecture would be a good thing.
I already am running CPython buildbots on two separate zSeries Linux systems, two PPC64 Linux system, and one PPC64 AIX system.
Thanks, David
