Compatibility of splunk enterprise 8.1 with python 3.6

I wanted to upgrade Splunk Enterprise 7.2 to Splunk Enterprise 8.1 on Redhat linux 7.7. As per the splunk upgrade docs, I found that splunk web is compatible only with Python 3.7. Here is the link https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.2/Installation/PlanPython3 I already have python 3.6 on RHEL 7.7 . My question is python 3.6 compatible with Splunk Enterprise 8.1 or do I need to upgrade python to 3.7 Thanks in advanced
