1501477 - Tracking: update puppet to python 3.7.x

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Release Engineering :: Release Automation, enhancement)

Description

Per the Release Engineering Python Standards wiki [1], we need to deploy python 3.7.1 within a month after release. Python 3.7.1 was released on October 20 [2], meaning we should deploy it by November 20.

At a high level, we need to:

 - build a custom python 3.7.1 RPM
 - build a custom python 3.7.1 DMG
 - write puppet patch(es) to roll those out. The rpm and dmg can be rolled out separately.
 - test
 - roll out. We may have to do this in batches, unless we somehow solve the long-virtualenv-rebuild-time problem.

Splitting out into multiple bugs to a) avoid a huge block of text here, and b) allow for easier divvying up of tasks between people.
