We recently noticed that in one of the package update on builder (ie, centos7.x machines), python3.6 got installed as a dependency. So, yes, it is possible to have python3 in centos7 now.

EPEL updated from python34 to python36 recently, but C7 doesn't have python3 in the base. I don't think we've ever used EPEL packages for building.

And GlusterFS-5 isn't python3 ready.

Correction: GlusterFS-5 is mostly or completely python3 ready.  FWIW, python33 is available on both RHEL7 and CentOS7 from the Software Collection Library (SCL), and python34 and now python36 are available from EPEL.

But packages built for the CentOS Storage SIG have never used the SCL or EPEL (EPEL not allowed) and the shebangs in the .py files are converted from /usr/bin/python3 to /usr/bin/python2 during the rpmbuild %prep stage. All the python dependencies for the packages remain the python2 flavors. AFAIK the centos-regression machines ought to be building the same way.

centos-regression machines have 'CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)' and using python3.6. Looking at the tracebacks when compiling we confirmed that it is picking up python3.6 somehow. 

We need to figure out why? BTW, my CentOS 7 box is up to date and does not have any version of python3. I would have to use the SCL or EPEL to get it.

Yes, you are right. OS got upgrade to newer version on 5th June. It has EPEL repo enabled for various other things.

Can we make changes in configure.ac file (python version specific to the branches) rather than falling back to python2 for other branches too?    

6309 was the last centos-regression with python2.7.  6310 and all subsequent centos-regressions have been built with python3.6.

Somebody added EPEL!  Do we not have a record of the changes made and who made them?

And BTW, this affects more than just glusterfs-5, it's affecting all versions: glusterfs-4.1, glusterfs-5, glusterfs-6, and master.
 
To resolve this issue either we can remove glupy from the release(which is dead anyways) or install glupy on the instances.

Or you can resolve where python36 came from and undo the change that introduced it.

At the risk of being repetitious – reiterating what Niels said – it's highly unusual to remove features in a bug fix update.

It's also unusual to have switched to python3 on rhel7 like this. Was there any discussion of such a change? If there was I seem to have missed it.

I suggest figuring out where python3.6 on rhel7 came from. Fix that first.  Removing glupy is a bandaid over a unrelated problem. Once the real problem is fixed then there can be a separate discussion about removing the glupy feature in glusterfs-5.
