Question on getting started for upgrade from python 2 to python 3:
We here at my company run python 2.7.5 on IDS-type and automation-controlled CentOS 7 servers.
A while back, we installed an app on one of our servers that required python 3. We added, at the advice of the vendor, these packages:
python35u-3.5.6-1.ius.centos7.x86_64
python35u-libs-3.5.6-1.ius.centos7.x86_64
Is it correct to say that, if we want to keep python 2 functionality, but we need python 3 functionality on all our servers for a new app, and we don't want python 3 to interfere -- that is, we want both python 2 and python 3 to function without issues -- that we are safe to install the above two packages on all (about 300) of our servers?
I'm looking for an opinion here. Thanks!
