For reference, the EL8 equivalents for python3 are now ``` # rpm -qi python36 Name : python36 Version : 3.6.8 Release : 2.module_el8.0.0+33+0a10c0e1 Architecture: x86_64 Install Date: Mon 23 Sep 2019 05:53:02 PM +08 Group : Unspecified Size : 13131 License : Python Signature : RSA/SHA256, Wed 31 Jul 2019 06:32:02 AM +08, Key ID 05b555b38483c65d Source RPM : python36-3.6.8-2.module_el8.0.0+33+0a10c0e1.src.rpm Build Date : Sat 22 Jun 2019 11:20:29 PM +08 Build Host : x86-02.mbox.centos.org Relocations : (not relocatable) Packager : CentOS Buildsys bugs@centos.org Vendor : CentOS URL : https://www.python.org/ Summary : Interpreter of the Python programming language ```

``` # rpm -q --whatprovides python3 python36-3.6.8-2.module_el8.0.0+33+0a10c0e1.x86_64 # rpm -q --whatprovides python3-devel python36-devel-3.6.8-2.module_el8.0.0+33+0a10c0e1.x86_64 ```
I guess it is modular, because they may want to slip Python 3.7/3.8 into RHEL 8.x at some point.
