title: install python3.6 on amazonlinux docker image
body: <p>I have been experimenting to create a docker image with python3.6 based on amazonlinux.
  So far, I have not been very successful. I use </p>
  
  <pre><code>docker run -it amazonlinux
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to start an interactive docker terminal. Inside the terminal, I run "yum install python36" and see the following error message. Note that I copied this step was from an old amazonlinux based Dockerfile. This Dockerfile used to work. So I suspend the error I see below is due to amazon updated their docker linux image</p>
  
  <pre><code>bash-4.2# yum install python36
  Loaded plugins: ovl, priorities
  amzn2-core       | 2.4 kB  00:00:00     
  No package python36 available.
  Error: Nothing to do
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried to add a python3.6 repo by following this post

  <pre><code>yum install python36u
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way to add python3.6 to amazonlinux base layer? Thanks in advance.</p>
