The Fedora Python team has been working on getting a test rebuild of Python for moving epel-7 to python36 [Thank you very much for this work.] https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/epel-python3/monitor/ Out of 282 packages which are compiled with python34, only 35 have failed to build and will need extra help to make work. This will be on us in EPEL to get done as it might require various updates of packages and other items. Currently there is no obsoletes package path so python34 and python36 conflict. We need to work out how a person will move their system and what problems can occur.
