Thank you Tahir. Only   "sealert -a /var/log/audit/audit.log"
shows me the path of the file that selinux prevented a process from 
accessing.

So, I guess I have one of 2 options:
touch /.autorelabel followed by reboot
or
run
grep python /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
semodule -i mypol.pp

Will try autorelabel first.

Kind regards,

JD
