I had actually attempted to do just that, and ran into another interesting problem. When I install rh-python36-python-devel package, it breaks the RPM database in some way. With that package installed, every time I do anything with RPM, I get several instances of this error message: "error: Macro % has illegal name (%define)"
This error does not interfere with the ability of RPM to install or remove packages. However, as part of the rpmbuild process, dependencies of RPM packages are checked. When this occurs, some program spits out several instances of that error message, and the program returns with an error. RPMBUILD then aborts the build when it detects the error. I know the error is a bash shell error, but I have not yet determined what in the -devel package is broken in such a way to cause that error to occur whenever RPM is run.
