Lulz... My RHEL6 customers recently started complaining, "nothing works with our Python, any more." Trying not to sarcastically reply, "you do remember all the emails we sent saying that RHEL6 reaches full de-support come the end of November 2020, right? You need to get off that RHEL6 stuff, like, yesterday" has been challenging.
I think that RHEL is on the hook supporting Python 2.7 with its customers until EOL of RHEL 7. Yum and the base RHEL utils all use 2.7. If they need Python 3 on RHEL 6, Software Collections works just fine.

Python 2 consultants will make good money this year and the next :)
And the next...
...But COBOL programmers will still be going strong long after Py2 coders have massaged their last bits of deployed code.
