In Kolla (another OpenStack project) we are building OpenStack components as container images. For Ubuntu 18.04 and Debian 10 we already moved to Python 3 with whatever we could (there are some binary packages which bring Python 2.7 as dependency). CentOS support stays at 7 for now with Python 2.7 in images. We were waiting for CentOS 8 to appear so we could move to Python 3 there too. For now we hope that centos:8 will arrive sooner than later.
