Python 3.7 - SCL or...?

[danb35 (Dan)]

Since automx is EOL, I’d like to see if I can get automx2 packaged and integrated:

automx / automx2

Apparent problem, though, is that it requires Python 3.7 or later. I thought I’d seen something about it being available via Software Collections, but I’m not finding it–any ideas? Interestingly, even CentOS 8 has the same Python3 version (3.6.8) as CentOS 7.

AFAIK python36 is latest python release available on EL7

What about EL8? I was a little surprised to see the same version (3.6.8) there. And the 3.6 branch will reach end of support next year.

I do not really know. Probably you can try using a container.

I think it’s quite strange the project requires a the 3.7 version

Why? 3.7 has only been out for two years, after all…
