Hello Gilberto,
I did not reproduce the on my test server Centos7
If you are using CentOS 7/RHEL 7/CloudLinux 7 check that /etc/yum.repos.d/lux.repo contains below lines:
[lux]
name=CentOS $releasever - $basearch - Lux
baseurl=http://repo.iotti.biz/CentOS/$releasever
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-LUX
Also you can change baseurl
from:
baseurl=http://repo.iotti.biz/CentOS/$releasever
to:
baseurl=http://repo.iotti.biz/CentOS/7/
You can also search for any other 3rdpaty repositories that have mod_python through the internet.
After installing mod_python there were errors in the next Plesk update.
Exception: Failed to solve dependencies:
2:postfix-2.10.1-6.el7.lux.1.x86_64 requires libcdb.so.1()(64bit)
2:postfix-2.10.1-6.el7.lux.1.x86_64 requires tinycdb
ERROR: The Yum utility failed to install the required packages.
This article suggests disabling the lux repo - https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003325473-Unable-to-install-Plesk-updates-Failed-to-solve-dependencies-requires-tinycdb-requires-libcdb-so-1-64bit-

Hello @Quotes,
indeed, if you have 3rd-party repo enabled, this article should help to achieve your goal.
