Python 3 is available in the SCL repos. The /usr/bin/python in
CentOS6 and CentOS7 are very unlikely to ever be changed from Python
2.x, due to how most of the management tools for RHEL/CentOS are
written in Python 2.x.
Johathon,
Thanks for the suggestion. However, I am trying to build a package for
Centos distribution and an upstream change now requires Python 3 during the
build process. I think that SCL is in extras or EPEL isn't it?

It's a separate repository, which CentOS rebuilds from Red Hat
published content, much like the rest of CentOS. See
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/SCL">https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/SCL</a>
The command "yum install centos-release-scl" is your friend for access
to the tools. A good look at the SRPM's over at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://vault.centos.org/">http://vault.centos.org/</a> is invaluable for the build structure.
Setting up "mock" to build them locally, I can ount you to some github
repos that are helpful if you like.</pre>

Nico, Thanks for the pointer.<br>
<br>
I haven't yet found a SRPM in the 7.4.1408 vault that is not part of
SCL itself which has a dependency on software collections or
python3x.<br>
Do you know of one?<br>
<br>
To emphasize, we are building nfv7 tagged vpp packages for Centos as
follows:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=19838">http://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=19838</a><br>
<br>
Are you recommending that we provide our package as part of scl as
an alternative?<br>
So far our plan is to disable the new python3 dependent feature
until Centos8 release so somebody downloading NFV packages wouldn't
require anything other then Centos base packages.<br>
