You don’t have to upgrade python, you could install python 3.5 in parallel. If you plan on upgrading you need to do your homework and make certain that all dependencies get address.
One key package to point out (depending on your major version (RHEL/CentOS) is yum packager manager. yum deplist yum Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, product-id, search-disabled-repos Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: nyc.mirrors.clouvider.net * centos-sclo-rh: mirror.atl.genesisadaptive.com * centos-sclo-sclo: mirrors.advancedhosters.com * epel: mirror.math.princeton.edu * extras: linux.cc.lehigh.edu package: yum.noarch 3.4.3-168.el7.centos dependency: /usr/bin/python provider: python.x86_64 2.7.5-89.el7 dependency: cpio provider: cpio.x86_64 2.11-28.el7 dependency: diffutils provider: diffutils.x86_64 3.3-5.el7 provider: diffutils.i686 3.3-5.el7 dependency: pygpgme provider: pygpgme.x86_64 0.3-9.el7 dependency: pyliblzma provider: pyliblzma.x86_64 0.5.3-11.el7 dependency: python >= 2.4 provider: python.x86_64 2.7.5-89.el7 dependency: python(abi) = 2.7 provider: python.x86_64 2.7.5-89.el7 dependency: python-iniparse provider: python-iniparse.noarch 0.4-9.el7 dependency: python-sqlite provider: python.x86_64 2.7.5-89.el7 dependency: python-urlgrabber >= 3.10-8 provider: python-urlgrabber.noarch 3.10-10.el7 dependency: pyxattr provider: pyxattr.x86_64 0.5.1-5.el7 dependency: rpm >= 4.11.3-22 provider: rpm.x86_64 4.11.3-45.el7 dependency: rpm-python provider: rpm-python.x86_64 4.11.3-45.el7 dependency: yum-metadata-parser >= 1.1.0 provider: yum-metadata-parser.x86_64 1.1.4-10.el7 dependency: yum-plugin-fastestmirror provider: yum-plugin-fastestmirror.noarch 1.1.31-54.el7_8 Dennis P. Business: DP HomeBoxOffice From: spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com <spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com> On Behalf Of Sulove Khanal Sent: Thursday, January 14, 2021 10:16 AM To: spacewalk-list@redhat.com Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk Python Version for Ansible Hello, I am currently looking to setup Ansible access to the Juniper devices in my environment. One of the prereqs of this to have to python 3.5 or later installed on your Ansible control node (mine being Spacewalk), but the current python version on my Spacewalk instance is 2.75. How would this upgrade of python versions affect my current Spacewalk version? Does anyone have any experience with this? I wanted to gather more information before considering upgrading the version. Thank you, Sulove
