No, the base install will not have python2.

This breaks old systems that don't have a binary called 'python2' (including RHEL5, I think). >> One day we will switch from python 2* to python 3*, just not yet. > > I was hoping to use RHEL as a baseline for our minimum python version > > RHEL5 with python2.4 has EOL date March 2017 > > RHEL6 has python-2.7 [EOL November 2020] > > Presumably we can have code that works with both python3 & python2.7 when > rhel5 is dead? Yes, it's reasonable to maintain code that works for python2.6 through python3.
