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?
