Python configuration to run goferd on CentOS 8

Problem:
Goferd will not run on CentOS 8 with default python configuration.

Expected outcome:
Goferd runs.

Foreman and Proxy versions:
foreman 1.23.0
katello 3.13.0
gofer-2.12.5-3

We configured alternatives to point “python” to both “python2.7” and python3.6" with no joy. Has anyone successfully run this combo?

Tried to setup my first CentOS 8 VM today and hit the same issue. Also tried setting up python3/python2 alternative for /usr/bin/python without success. Seems the katello client does not work with CentOS 8 yet - see:
