Description Direct Docs Feedback 2023-07-05 12:22:09 UTC

I believe a paragraph/note should be added here to explain that not all upstream python packages are packaged.
And that packages not included in RHEL are not supported either.
This (and the RHEL9 doc) do mention the packages in the CodeReady repo but not those that are not packaged at all.
I was unable to find any KCS or doc explaining this.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback! I have added the following note:

--
Not all upstream Python-related packages are available in RHEL. 
--

to the "Installing additional Python 3 tools for developers" section in both RHEL 8 and RHEL 9 titles:
