The article title is a little misleading, so for those who don't have the time to read the full article and its references: There is no forced default python, but there are 3 different Pythons in RHEL 8 Beta: Platform-python: This is an off-to-the-side Python version for use by other RHEL 8 packages. Python 2.7: Offered as a module that can optionally be installed Python 3.6: Offered as a module that can optionally be installed The upshot is that RHEL 8 will be able to offer newer versions of Python in years to come, but end users can install the version that meets their needs and change the version over time as their needs change. -- Brendan Conoboy / RHEL Development Coordinator / Red Hat, Inc.
