Answer 1

You have to install a module separately for every version of python you intend to use. If you installed it on python 2.7 it will not be installed on python 3.6. Even if you installed it on 3.6, it would not be installed on 3.7. You will have to separately install the module for every python version you intend to use it on.

Answer 2

resolved it by ensuring node is subscribed to repo first. Then searched for available modules: yum search python3 | grep ldap installed preferred module: yum install -y python3-ldap.x86_64 NOTE: this is on RHEL8
