Unable to install version 4.0.3 on RHEL 8 using python 3.9

[andy-fry]

Due to the package name of mod_wsgi being python39-mod_wsgi in python 3.9 I'm unable to install on RHEL8.

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: 7.18.0
• Ruby: 2.7.0
• Distribution: RHEL 8
• Module version: v9.0.0

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

  $page_title = "${environment} - Puppetboard"

  class { 'puppetboard':
    version             => '4.0.3',
    python_version      => '3.9',
    offline_mode        => true,
    groups              => 'root',
    homedir             => '/srv/puppetboard',
    manage_git          => false,
    manage_virtualenv   => true,
    manage_selinux      => false,
    puppetdb_host       => $puppetboard_certname,
    puppetdb_port       => 8081,
    puppetdb_key        => "/etc/httpd/ssl/private_keys/${puppetboard_certname}.pem",
    puppetdb_ssl_verify => '/etc/httpd/ssl/certs/ca.pem',
    puppetdb_cert       => "/etc/httpd/ssl/certs/${puppetboard_certname}.pem",
    reports_count       => 100,
    default_environment => '*',
    enable_catalog      => true,
    extra_settings      => { 'PAGE_TITLE' => "\"${page_title}\"", },
  }
  class { 'puppetboard::apache::vhost':
    vhost_name => $puppetboard_certname,
    ssl        => true,
    ssl_cert   => "/etc/pki/tls/certs/${trusted['hostname']}.crt",
    ssl_key    => "/etc/pki/tls/private/${trusted['hostname']}.key",
    port       => 443,
  }

Agent installs python3-mod_wsgi regardless of the python_version specified, results in internal server error due to virtualenv running python3.9 and mod_wsgi being 3.6

What behaviour did you expect instead

Specifying python 3.9 and RHEL 8 should modify apache::mod::wsgi::package_name and apache::mod::wsgi::mod_path

Any additional information you'd like to impart

Was able to "Hack" a way around it by editing puppetboard/manifests/apache/vhost.pp

  $wsgi = $facts['os']['family'] ? {
    'Debian' => {
      package_name => 'libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3',
      mod_path     => '/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_wsgi.so',
    },
    'RedHat' => {
      package_name => 'python39-mod_wsgi',
      mod_path     => "/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/mod_wsgi/server/mod_wsgi-py39.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so",
    },
    default  => {},
  }
  class { 'apache::mod::wsgi':
    * => $wsgi,
  }

This is extremely crude but get's me round the issue for now.
