I should add, that the only correct way to package Python 3 on RHEL 6 is
by making the package called "python3" or something that won't collide
with the system Python 2.x package.  Python (2.x) is a required package
on RHEL and if you replace it with Python 3 you'll see just about
everything cease to function.
