Thank you, John.
The more I get into OSS the more I am finding there are more dependencies than carter has little liver pills, for those of us old enough to remember that phrase.
Thanks,

It's true that you should just use Python 3 if you are writing anything new.
If you're using *anything* from 5733-OPS (Python 2 or 3, Node.js, etc.), then it's recommended to also uninstall all of that.
But your Python 2 is not from 5733-OPS; rather, you have Python 2 which is included with `yum`. As such, it needs to stay on the system.
`yum` is currently dependent on that Python 2, and until such time as it isn't, you need to keep that Python 2. As you can see from the messages, `yum` is protected, as it should be. You definitely do NOT want to get rid of that!
