I don't know if RHEL/CentOS 8 is completely "python2" clean. If not, you
might just create the reverse problem and then there are still other distributions in
transition, I guess.
Indeed.
Perhaps a helper function needs to identify the python dialect of the orchestration
engine underneath...
Something like this, which we did 3 years ago and quickly reverted, at the time:
https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/59831/28/src/bin/otopi
The again I am not sure that Otopi generates the tar ball on the host-to-add or on the
management engine: In theory (and soon in practice) these could be crossing dialect
boundaries as we'll we a mix of v7/v8 hosts being orchestrated with oVirt for some
years perhaps.
Right. And it's generated on the engine, and indeed it should be
prepared for both.

Actually I found a previous report and added it as a reference in bugzilla. At the time
the issue was closed as WONTFIX, because Python3 was considered irrelevant on CentOS 7...
Indeed. And the reporter was my team mate, not a real user :-), so I
could decide it's not that common. I guess I should now apologize for
wasting your time instead of fixing it then. Sorry.
If Cinnamon requires python3, that's still not that common (running a
GUI on a hypervisor host), but at least somewhat more so. I suppose we
should be prepared for more packages requiring python3 even on EL7.
Thanks and best regards,
