openslide 3.4 for centOS? yum has old version, problematic for openslide-python

[Brian Bettencourt]

Hello,

Used yum to install openslide on centOS box.  Installs fine, but the version in the repository is only 3.2.6.
This is a problem, because when trying to use openslide-python, you get the following error message, indicating that 3.4.0 is required:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "trySlide.py", line 3, in <module>
    import openslide
  File "/opt/software/python2.7/current/lib/python2.7/site-packages/openslide/__init__.py", line 29, in <module>
    from openslide import lowlevel
  File "/opt/software/python2.7/current/lib/python2.7/site-packages/openslide/lowlevel.py", line 223, in <module>
    raise OpenSlideError('OpenSlide >= 3.4.0 required')
openslide.lowlevel.OpenSlideError: OpenSlide >= 3.4.0 required

Can openslide 3.4 please be put into the repository s/t it can be installed via yum?  Would prefer not to have to build from source the old-fashioned way.

Thanks so much!
