@devops there are some informations around the internet for work arounds making ambari think python 2 is really python 3, but the short answer is above. Please accept the answer.  The workaround just creates more problems than it solves.   Python 3 was never finished in Ambari, and it doesn't look like it will ever be improved for python 3.  In the same high level conversation, the version of java supported is now similarly antiquated.
