To elaborate on what Toshio said, Fedora 29 (current latest stable release) is python3 by default for Ansible[0] and according to the Fedora DistGit repo for Ansible[1] the version of Ansible for EPEL8 (once RHEL8 is released GA and EPEL[2] is branched/built for RHEL8) will be python3 only also. I'm going to be packaging Ansible Core for RHEL8 and plan to target the python36 AppStream[3] as this will be default association with Platform Python[4] as per the RHEL8 Beta documentation. Also note, the blog I wrote about RHEL8 Beta + Ansible[5] for info on how to get up and running with Ansible Core on RHEL8 Beta explicitly targets python3. > > Ubuntu is an interesting question.
