Description
I see python2 and python3 for CentOS 7, and python2 alone for CentOS 8.
Quite weird because starting Swift 5.4 we’ve already abandoned Python 2.

Research direction
Compare the Swift 5.5 nightly CentOS 7 and CentOS 8 image definitions and their package or dependency setup. Trace why Python 2 is installed, check the Swift 5.4 change referenced in the report, and confirm the intended Python packages for each CentOS variant. Done means the dependency difference is explained or corrected and the affected image builds as expected.
