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.
