@MarkJGreene Kindly share output for
yum info virt-who
cat /etc/virt-who.conf
virt-who --one-shot
cat /etc/virt-who.d/virt-who.conf
The virt-who command fails:

The rpm installed all of the software under /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtwho, and did so because that is default for RHEL v7; I think if I can figure where to put the symlink under the actual python installation under /opt/rh/python27, then I can make it all work. I but I don't know where to put the link, and how many files and directories need to be linked.
It all comes down to the rpm being developed for RHEL 7 & 8 and not RHEL 6, and RHEL 6 handling the Python 2.7 installation as a one-off from the Software Collections repo.
Here is the rpm info:
