[SOLVED] How to install python34 via yum in redhat

Issue

I am trying to install mariadb columnstore api (java wrapper of cpp version) on RHEL 7 and it has dependency on pythong34. The following command can not find the package.

sudo yum install python34 or to search sudo yum search python34

Other server already have the package installed and search returns the results.

  • python34.x86_64 : Version 3 of the Python programming language aka Python 3000
  • python34-devel.x86_64 : Libraries and header files needed for Python 3 development
  • python34-libs.x86_64 : Python 3 runtime libraries

So far I have tried running

yum clean all - to clear cache and all other things update repo..

check proxy is same on both server, yum update

Tried Installing manually by getting rpm but getting the dependency error.

python(abi) = 3.4 is needed by mariadb-columnstore-api-1.1.3-1.x86_64

Any suggestion would help. Thanks.


Solution

Finally was able to install python34, it is part of EPEP repository. So enabled using following link and then was able to to get it via yum.
