The source package, which you compile yourself. Like many other
packages, CFFI is only precompiled for the most common platforms, not
HPUX on AIX.

Thanks so much Armin, are the instructions for compiling in the source download?

Like most other Python packages, try this first:

pip install cffi

If this doesn't work, download CFFI and try this:

cd directory-where-you-extracted-it
python setup.py install

If the C compiler fails at the line ``#include "ffi.h"``, you need to
install the source code of the C package "libffi" first.

Thank you again Armin.

I will proceed with that approach...

I will open another message on this question, but maybe you can assist.

The HPUX servers are not able to connect with PYPI to retrieve modules.  We have verified using CURL that the network path is viable.

What is the correct syntax for incorporating SSL Certificates into the PIP command.?

I have no idea, sorry. My own conclusion would be "pip doesn't work"
and I'd proceed along with the other installation option I gave.

Totally agree Armin, we will proceed with the manual downloads for now.  Have a great weekend.
