As from RedHat 8, there is no 'default' version of python (no
/usr/bin/python) and python 3.6 is the default supported version (available under/usr/bin/python3,/usr/bin/python36). Yumbootstrap therefore cannot run. Python 2 can still be installed, but the rpm-module is no longer available, so just adjusting the paths is not a solution.To support running yumbootstrap on RedHat 8 and Centos 8 (yum 4.*), I suggest migrating to python 3. As the python3-rpm package is available on older versions, it is also possible to run a python 3-variant on Centos 7.
Remaining issues:
You are free to ignore this pull request or comment about how to solve this in another way (or wait until Centos 8 is more mainstream).
