I'm wondering if anyone can shed any light on possible roadmaps for
transitioning to newer python 3.X in RHEL8/EPEL8. What we have now
appears to be:
A module for different pythonXY versions:
python27 2.7 [d] common [d]
Python programming language, version 2.7
python36 3.6 [d][e] common [d], build
Python programming language, version 3.6
A python3Y base package:
python36.x86_64 3.6.8-2.module+el8.1.0+3334+5cb623d7
python36-debug.x86_64
3.6.8-2.module+el8.1.0+3334+5cb623d7
python36-devel.x86_64 3.6.8-2.module+el8.1.0+3334+5cb623d7
python36-rpm-macros.noarch
3.6.8-2.module+el8.1.0+3334+5cb623d7
But python3- modules, including:
python3-libs.x86_64 3.6.8-15.1.el8
python3-tkinter.x86_64 3.6.8-15.1.el8
And since:
# rpm -E %python3_pkgversion
3
It seems any transition is going to have to be a hard break and/or we're
going to need modules. Is there any hope for parallel installable
python3Y stacks in RHEL8? Are we just going to have python36 forever?
