RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Sorin Sbarnea 2019-09-11 10:14:42 UTC 
Description of problem:

* "selinux" python module is needed by ansible (jinja2 templating) and this special module cannot be installed using pip.
* the whole point of having python36 on centos7 was to prepare code to migrate, if we don't have selinux we cannot test it.
* yes for python2 there is the "libselinux-python" package, but we need the same for python3.

The python3-selinux is already included in rhel8 but this does not help with rhel7/centos7.

selinux python bindings are extremely small but they are binary dependent on python version and kernel/selinux, so we cannot use pip virtualenv to install them, they need to be shipped inside the same repository that ships python (as a separate rpm or even included with python itself).
