(Get the code!)
I saw Python 2.7 was supposed to be supported, so I didn't realize that could be the problem.
Python3 is not officially packaged for RHEL 7, but there are a few packages in the unofficial EPEL repo [1].
Looks like only the core python packages are available though, so I am unsure whether there might be missing dependencies.
Dropping support for Python 2.7 would require me to do some changes to our buildsystem and
would require adding another repo to each server. So I would of course prefer Python 2.7 to be
supported. But I would be able to make those changes if required, others might feel that would
raise the bar for using apparmor.
The switch from Perl to Python is something I considered a very good thing, since I do a fair bit of
Python programming at work. This enabled me to inspect the code and possibly fix things myself,
but since we have no systems running Python 3.x yet, I have no actual experience with it yet
(Fedora only just changed its default to Python3, so RHEL 8 will likely finally do the switch,
but that is probably several years out. A future RHEL7.x release probably will have Python3 as
an optional tech preview, with very minimal support/updates).
Btw, I wish you guys were using GitHub or similar, the ease of forking and creating pull requests
is a really strong motivator to follow upstream closely and contribute back. Currently I have some
small changes I have considered contributing, but it keeps getting postponed due to the effort
(however small) involved. Just browsing the code and commitlog here is a bit painful unfortunately.
I realize a switch is not likely to happen, but there you have my thoughts ;)
