What do you mean by "supported"?  By "collections" or by Python core

look for themselves.)

Depending on how much support you require, these[1] are even supported by RedHat. I haven't check how much overlap there is with the publicly available ones.

And here is the statement about the support[2], not that I have ever used it myself:

RHSCL releases occur annually. The collections have a two to three year support life cycle to allow rapid innovation without sacrificing stability. RHSCL is available with select Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions for the currently supported releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux including 6 and 7.
