RHEL’s release process starts at forking a recent Fedora release. It wouldn’t make much sense for them to undo the Python 3 progress that happened over the past few years in Fedora — including dnf, an improved package manager written in Python 3. If the fork happened today, the base release would be Fedora 26, which includes Python 3.6, and some install options don’t include Python 2. -- Chris Warrick <https://chriswarrick.com/> PGP: 5EAAEA16 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
