be pretty hard to break anything, it installs...

/usr/bin/python3
/usr/bin/python3.4

and puts all the runtime libs in /usr/lib64/python3.4

the default C7 python is...

/usr/bin/python
/usr/bin/python2
/usr/bin/python2.7

with libraries in /usr/lib64/python2.7

so no overlap at all.    if you want python 3.4, you have to invoke it 
explicitly.
