```
$ waagent --version
WALinuxAgent-2.2.26 running on redhat 8.0
Python: 3.6.6
Goal state agent: 2.2.37
$ python --version
Python 3.6.6

```

Research direction
Start by locating the AzureDiskEncryptionForLinux code that checks for Python 2.7, then reproduce the failure on RHEL 8 with Python 3.6.6. Done means the extension supports the reported Python 3 environment without the “Expected Python 2.7” failure.
