Research direction

Start with the python class configuration and the /usr/bin/yum ... list 34 error shown in the report. Check whether the requested version and IUS RPM packages are supported on CentOS 6; the issue is done when a supported configuration installs Python, pip, and virtualenv without the dependency failures shown.

Description

Hi,

I am trying to install Python But it can never find the version.
I have tried version = 3/34/34u/3.4.5, is there any way to use https://github.com/iuscommunity-pkg rpm ? They seem to maintain all required packages with the latest version

OS Version - CentOS release 6.8 (Final)

Config -

  class { 'python' :
    version    => '34',
    pip        => 'present',
    dev        => 'absent',
    virtualenv => 'present',
  }

Error Log :
