[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk Python Version for Ansible

[Dennis Pittman]

You don’t have to upgrade python, you could install python 3.5 in parallel.  If you plan on upgrading you need to do your homework and make certain that all dependencies get address.

One key package to point out (depending on your major version (RHEL/CentOS) is yum packager manager.

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk Python Version for Ansible

Hello,

I am currently looking to setup Ansible access to the Juniper devices in my environment. One of the prereqs of this to have to python 3.5 or later installed on your Ansible control node (mine being Spacewalk), but the current python version on my Spacewalk instance is 2.75.

How would this upgrade of python versions affect my current Spacewalk version? Does anyone have any experience with this? I wanted to gather more information before considering upgrading the version.

Thank you,
Sulove
