[Chicago] Anyone using Python 3?

... This comes from having accountability for what's on the systems and the
need to be able to ask Red Hat for help if something on the system breaks.

I don't know what kind of deal you have with Red Hat, but can't you just
altinstall python on RHEL?  This should leave the system install untouched,
so from RH's perspective python should look like just another business
application you're running, not something they either have to support, or
impacts the system build?  Or is there a further impact here I'm missing?
