    As Dan said, EPEL is a Fedora repository.
    It isn't specific to ppc64le, e.g.
    http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/linux/mirrors/redhat/epel/7Server/x86_64/Packages/p/python2-asn1crypto-0.24.0-7.el7.noarch.rpm

    Pypi is not specific to x86 either.  You can also install this package on
    ppc64le:

    $ pip3 install --user asn1crypto

    In order to update packages maintained by the Fedora community, you need to
    contact the maintainers.
    Let me list where you can find more information about a few of these packages
    on EPEL:
