[EPEL-devel] Python 3.6 now available in EPEL 7.
A small holiday present :)
The python36 package is now available through the EPEL 7 repositories [0].
You can provide feedback at the bodhi update.
Some notes:
The python34 package is still the main python3 package in EPEL, which still provides the
python3 binary.
Packages can be built with it, by utilizing the %python3_other_pkgversion, e.g.
BuildRequires: python%{python3_other_pkgversion}-devel
The interpreter can be invoked within the SPEC file, by using the %__python3_other macro,
e.g. for invoking the tests at the %check section: %{__python3_other} setup.py test
After a small timeframe (not determined how long yet), the macros will change and python36
will be the main python3 in EPEL.
