If I have python36 and python38 installed: - what verion(s) of python3-libs do I have? - what version(s) of python modules from EPEL do I have? With EPEL7 I can have both python34-blah and python36-blah, but with python3_pkgversion = 3 we just have python3-blah in EPEL8 (currently built for 3.6). -- Orion Poplawski Manager of NWRA Technical Systems 720-772-5637 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion@xxxxxxxx Boulder, CO 80301 https://www.nwra.com/
