Dear Pythonistas

If you wish to define a certain version of Python to the default Python on your system and running

python

should just start it, then you might be interested to know that you default Python can be selected in Hiera:

https://linux.psi.ch/admin-guide/configuration/python.html

so Puppet will install the required packages and link the binaries accordingly.

Note that this is only available for RHEL8 and RHEL9 and only for the versions of Python supplied by Red Hat.

Note that for libraries you still need to install them the old way and the availability of packaged ones may vary depending on the Python version.

Cheers
Konrad
