Managed Python utility

[jarinmusarrat]

Hello team, does Dynatrace Managed (cluster notes, cluster ActiveGates or environment ActiveGates) depend on Python 2.x and, more importantly, the 'pip' utility 1.5.x? And if they do, would removing this utility cause impact (i.e. break) on Dynatrace Managed?

Dynatrace components do not depend on Operating System Python packages. Additionally, components which run Python extensions (oneagent / environment activegates) have their own Python runtime completely independent from the operating system.

Just one notice - on the managed cluster, if you use selinux, then semanage utility is required. This command itself is a python script, but it's part of the operating system.
