Same here, apparently they removed it by mistake? Temporary workaround is to use outdated repo. I’ve filed a bug, you can observe it on redhat bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1740053
RHEL 7.7 added Python 3.6. Python 3.6 was removed from EPEL 7 to comply with the EPEL guidelines: No RHEL packages in EPEL. Apparently, each time RHEL releases and CentOS does not yet, there can be a period of breakage. See the discussion on EPEL mailing list and original bug report about this.
