Our python is compiled with the latest versions of gcc (on Linux) and clang (on macOS). So you're getting gcc 7.2 compiled python on RHEL/CentOS 6. And all of the security and performance enhancements that come along with it [1]. (Ok we're still on 7.2; we'll update to 7.3 in the next couple months.)
