It's recommended to use the latest Python versions.
RHEL 8 in particular ships with Python 3.6 by default which is EOL and therefore no longer supported by Synapse. RHEL 9 ship with Python 3.9 which is still supported by the Python core team as of this writing. However, newer Python versions provide significant performance improvements and they're available in official distributions' repositories. Therefore it's recommended to use them.

###### Using venv module instead of virtualenv command
It's recommended to use Python venv module directly rather than the virtualenv command.
* On RHEL 9, virtualenv is only available on [EPEL](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/).
* On RHEL 8, virtualenv is based on Python 3.6. It does not support creating 3.11/3.12 virtual environments.
* On EL 9, virtualenv is only available on [EPEL](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/).
* On EL 8, virtualenv is based on Python 3.6. It does not support creating 3.11/3.12 virtual environments.
Here's an example of creating Python 3.12 virtual environment and installing Synapse from PyPI.
