Hi Dan. May I ask a question? Is your security team looking for a fix
to a specific security problem or CVE or are they asking that you run
the latest version as a rule?
thanks,
Brian

I’ve been lurking on this list for a while, and I wanted to bring
myself up to date. I noticed some talk of a community SCL for a
“latest” Python, which would be a non-patched pure build of Python
that is kept up-to-date by the community. Where is that at? Who is
leading it? How can I help?
For background, we’ve used rh-python34 for some time, but our security
team recently dinged us for sticking with Python 3.4.2, and my DevOps
team (who have less time due to tickets), just recompiled Python 3.4.6
blind to get past the security problem. I would have argued we
should move to rh-python35, but that would eventually suffer the same
problem. What we need is a distribution that keeps up to date, but
is still distributed as an rpm.
