Thank you Elias,
SCL worked perfectly. Installed Python 3.3 then installed the asyncio
module from pypi. I was a little afraid about where the module would
be installed but it was smart enough. I simply "scl enable python33
bash" *before* building/installing the module. Now I can show my
students the very latest in asynchronous network programming.
Software Collections is a great idea. It really addresses and solves
one of the biggest issues of rhel/centos.
