robotframework-mainframe3270
Readme
Mainframe3270 is a library for Robot Framework based on the py3270 project, a Python interface to x3270, an IBM 3270 terminal emulator. It provides an API to a x3270 or s3270 subprocess.
Mainframe3270 requires Python 3. It is tested with Python 3.8 and 3.12, but should support all versions in between these.
In order to use this library, first install the package from PyPI.
pip install robotframework-mainframe3270
Or you can upgrade with:
pip install --upgrade robotframework-mainframe3270
Then, depending on your OS, proceed with the corresponding chapters in this README.
You need to install the x3270 project and put the directory on your PATH.
The default folder is "C:\Program Files\wc3270". This needs to be in the PATH environment variable.
You can install the x3270 project from the instructions page. Or if it is available in your distribution through:
sudo apt-get install x3270
or
brew install x3270
More information can be found on the Wiki page of this project.
