Hi Dan, Yes, Red Hat and therefore CentOS tend to be using "stable" therefore old versions of everything. I am not even sure there is Python 3 included, if it is it is 3.5 or less. Python 3 is not on one or two of my CentOS systems. That may change with the new version of CentOS, 8, as it is going to be ahead of Red Hat much to the consternation of some sysadmins. If no one else is using CentOS, instead of you going through the work of changing especially the code, I could hack my setup.py or maybe install a newer gcc and just put out a warning to CentOS users.
