Doc Text:
The plpython3 package provides the PL/Python procedural language extension based on Python 3. PL/Python enables you to write PostgreSQL functions in the Python programming language. For details, see the upstream documentation. Previously released PostgreSQL Software Collections include only the plpython package based on Python 2. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 provides only plpython3. The rh-postgresql13 Software Collection includes both plpython and plpython3, so that you can migrate to plpython3 before upgrading to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.

Description Honza Horak 2021-02-23 15:53:28 UTC
Description of problem:
RHEL-8 only ships plpython3. RHEL-7 (up to rh-postgresql12) only ships plpython (which is python2). In order to enable customers to be able to upgrade, it seems like the best way forward is to enable both, plpython and plpython3 in rh-postgresql13. That way, customers can move from plpython to plpython3 when still being on rh-postgresql13, and then migrating to RHEL-8.

We should document this as well.
