Python 3.8 not possible to install on Linux? Why?
It's nearly 2020 already, can we please move forward please. RHEL/Centos has a 6 years release cycle with 10 years maintenance support. Every package needs to work with every other package across the entire system... for the entire time. You cannot update any package without verifying first that you are not breaking anything in the process, and that takes resources, like time from people that knows what they are doing. And python 3.6 end-of-life is on 2021-12-23, we still have two years of full support. Besides... Why do you want to have python 3.8 system-wide? If you install a different version of a library as fundamental as python at a system level you are risking breaking packages or libraries on the whole system. I wonder what new feature is so necessary from python 3.8 that python 3.6 doesn't have that is so pressing for you to have it on your system immediately. I'm not sure what the deal is with Python enthusiasts or RHEL/CentOS users that someone somewhere has not simply updated some repo somewhere, I can try and get involved. Please do it, get involved. Learn. Fix. Document. Share. But a word of warning: tune it down a bit before going full-on whining again anywhere on both communities. More on reddit.com

How to install the current Python version on CentOS Linux 7 | The No Title® Tech Blog
April 26, 2020 - …I would soon discover that my freshly installed Python 3.8.2 was missing some modules I have used in my projects, like tkinter and sqlite3. Once again, I needed to install a few support packages using yum and then rebuild Python using configure and make: So, you can see a pattern here. Python misses something. You find out which development package provides that dependency. You install it using a package manager (for CentOS 7, it’s yum, but for other versions or other Linux distributions it could be dnf, apt-get or even other package managers).

r/docker on Reddit: Cleanest way to install Python 3.7 on CentOS 7 image
July 10, 2019 -

I would think CentOS + Python would be extremely common but I can't find an elegant way to do this.

These both work, but they take minutes to run and bloat the image:

method #1:

FROM centos:7
RUN yum update -y && yum -y install yum-utils && yum -y groupinstall development && yum -y install https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
RUN yum install -y python36u

method #2:

FROM centos:7
RUN yum -y --enablerepo=extras install epel-release && yum clean all && yum -y update
RUN wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.2/Python-3.7.2.tgz && tar xzf Python-3.7.2.tgz
RUN cd Python-3.7.2 && ./configure --enable-optimizations && make altinstall
