Create a new virtual environment using the new version of Python.Compile and install the desired version of Python.After wrestling with the update process, I thought I’d post the process I used in case other folks find it useful. I couldn’t seem to find any news relating to when official RedHat/CentOS packages for Python 3.7 (or later) might become available, so I decided to tackle things myself. I really hope there will be some documentation available for those of us who are less savvy with Python and would simply like to stick with officially supported packages whenever possible. This is a pretty substantial breaking change, and it’s listed in the middle of a large changelog as though it’s not a big deal. As of this writing, however, there are no official packages yet available for versions 3.7 or 3.8ĭoes anyone know if/when we might see packages for the latest versions of Python in the CentOS SCL repo? If they are not available before HA removes support for Python 3.6 (the latest version currently available via official CentOS package), will there be updates to the instructions letting us know how to properly upgrade/migrate our HA installations? For example, the installation instructions currently at still refer to Python 3.6 and the relevant SCL package. However, CentOS currently provides official packages for Python versions 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6 via their software collections repository. The default Python package for CentOS 7 is Python 2.7.5.

I am running HA on a CentOS server (the latest version of CentOS 7 as of this writing). This doesn’t seem like much time to cope…particularly for those of us running HA on a multipurpose server.

Per the breaking changes listing for 0.101, Python 3.6 support is now deprecated and will be removed entirely in less than a month (!). This might not be the best forum to discuss this topic, but I’m a little concerned with the recent deprecation noted in HA version 0.101.
