Just a note of warning: don’t to be too over-eager with dropping 
everything Python 2 related in EPEL-7. Its EOS is only sometime 
after 2024 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux#Product_life_cycle) 
and the question whether the packages which can use both Python2 
and Python3 as its dependency (e.g., youtube-dl) should switch 
to Python3 or use the base RHEL-provided Python 2.7.

Best,

Matěj

It is a rare mind indeed that can render the hitherto
non-existent blindingly obvious. The cry “I could have thought of
that” is a very popular and misleading one, for the fact is that
they didn’t, and a very significant and revealing fact it is too.
