>you need to jump through hoops to install Python 3.x

What? You can install Python 3.6 from EPEL[1], takes 5 seconds.

Then you have to use scl, which kind of sucks. Better to just install the fedora packages. Or compile it yourself (but you should really package it if you're deploying it on a lot of servers)
