Has anyone considered just switching everything to Python 3 for both? Python 3 is now included in CentOS 7 and there's already a large number of pre-built Python 3 modules in EPEL7. Failing that, I'd rather just see CentOS 7 support discontinued for upcoming releases. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@lists.rdoproject.org http://lists.rdoproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users To unsubscribe: users-unsubscr...@lists.rdoproject.org
