A quick google shows Python 3.6 is default in RHEL 8. Again, I personally plan to attempt to start using CentOS 8 when it is available. If there are issues, I want to be ahead of the wider user base. But I also do the opposite and tried to stay on CentOS 6 as long as I could. At that point, I knew of multiple LARGE institutional Linux users who had not begun to deploy RHEL/CentOS 7 yet and I didn't want us to leave them hanging. Let's ensure there is a clear error when the wrong Python is used if there is a minimum version. --joel > > Peter > ----------------- > Peter Dufault > HD Associates, Inc.
