Description of problem:

With the release of RHEL8.6 ansible-core was introduced, which is build against python38.

Please consider adding python-passlib as a python38 variant to EPEL8

Some discussion about it took place here:

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/CECLJH3QPXWNZGNTG3KIQHFZB4WFVOAN/

The POC there was to build it as a normal package (python38-passlib) and _not_ 
as module / part of a stream.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Its not necessary to supersede the "default" variant:

$ rpm -qa |grep passlib
python3-passlib-1.7.4-6.el8.noarch
python38-passlib-1.7.4-6.el8.noarch

(these are local builds, EPEL8 provides 1.7.2 right now)




How reproducible:

As starting point the patch I used ... (quick and dirty and not finally peer reviewed):
