Many thanks Sean, David and Alfredo.  So, IIUC, with RDO and CentOS 8 it
sounds like Train and Ussuri should be good.  Stein should also be fine
code-wise, but responses so far don't mention available packaging for
that.  Also if anyone can point to information about Debian/Ubuntu
packaging for these releases with Python 3, that would be great.

Best wishes,
     Neil
