Since the 7.7 release, python3 is now officially available in the official repos: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2353081 > August 8 2019 at 5:40 PM > > As of RHEL 7.7, python3 is included into base RHEL 7 channels without > the need for software collections.

Moreover, I figure that Redhat/CentOS 7 will be using an LTS version, not the latest master snapshot. -- Robin
