But Python 2 remains available in RHEL 8. Getting command not found error since virtualenv is not available on your linux machine Finally, we will need to install the IUS package python36u-devel, which provides us with libraries and header files we will need for Python 3 development: sudo yum -y install python36u-devel. The default version of Python in RHEL/CentOS 8 is Python 3.6. These packages are ignoring the standard advice, which allows both to be installed in parallel.Īs for getting a non-conflicting Python 3 package for RHEL 7, that’s well covered in another answer on Stack Overflow.« Previous Next » Install virtualenv in Linux (RHEL 7/ Fedora / CentOS)

That “if” can bite you: some packagers have created Python 3 packages with a /usr/bin/python or similar, which creates a conflict. Scripts that assume Python 2 will call it as python in shebang lines and such, so there is not in fact a conflict between the old version and your newer version's python3 binary and everything that depends on it, as long as your binary Python packages are built properly.

How? It starts with the fact that one should always call Python 3 as python3, since that insulates you from the major version compatibility problem. If you outright replace Python 2 with 3, you'll break several of the OS's core tools.Įven if that were not the case, your question is based on an incorrect premise, being that completely replacing Python 2 with Python 3 is a good idea in the first place. RHEL 7 and its derivatives depend on Python 2 at a very deep level.
