@pkoziol change of plan. We have this PR #11275 to build el7 package with Python 3. It would support Centos 8/RHEL 8 already. I’m going to revert el8 #11325
It’s time to build an el8 package with Python 3.
I too got somewhat same error, and python 2.x should not be solution for it since it is going out of service in few weeks.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 systems are not officially supported yet. You can follow the workaround for now:
Then edit the second line of
/usr/bin/az(result ofwhich az) to specify using python2:PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib64/az/lib/python2.7/site-packages python2 -sm azure.cli "$@"
