FYI This is what is working after several rounds of testing various methods so far. Some notes:
(1) I've tried rolling my own python-six using py2pack (search google on keywords "py2pack james adam creating rpms" ) but it doesn't work because even though I can build the RPM, it won't install the resulting RPM because there are several "conflicting files" errors during the installed of the roll-your-own RPM that conflict with files in the python3-six that comes with the Oracle8 distro by default; and, the python3-six cannot be uninstalled because the new dnf capability in Oracle8 depends on that python3-six that comes with the distro so the OS blocks uninstall of python3-six. I haven't considered whether dnf could be uninstalled but won't go there because an Orabuntu-LXC design principle is we are a pure overlay we don't reconfigure anything unless absolutely unavoidable. However, as indicated in the recipe, the python-six noarch from the CentOS7 repo installs fine with no issues and moreover the openvswitch build likes it.
(2) When I try to have the build depend entirely on python3-six (and skip the install of the CentOS7 python-six noarch rpm) and just update the spec file to use "python3-six" throughout I get errors in the OpenvSwitch build. I get errors that "files 'ovs-test' and 'ovs-l3ping' are missing and cannot be deleted."
(3) The python py36env virtual python environment also is needed; without it I get errors in the build.
(4) When I try to use python2 variants (set in the python alternatives step) I get errors in the build.
Here is the code that is working on Oracle8
elif [ $Release -ge 7 ]

it would be helpful to post a summary of how to build RPMs for OVS on
Oracle Linux. Or, if you're willing, you could contribute a spec file
for it to the project.

There were a few additional lines needed for the recipe as shown below this is the scripting that worked completely successfully. There could possible be some things in here that are not absolutely needed, but I haven't had a chance to do that kind of testing yet. Below will work albeit possibly with more steps than minimally needed.
