Another solution to run mysql-workbench (without installing fixed python2) is to force usage of internal python2 libffi instead of system one: `LD_PRELOAD="$LD_PRELOAD:/usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-dynload/_ctypes.so" mysql-workbench` I've tested this for more than a week and it seems ok. I'll check code later and if there will be no obvious problems, push it to mysql-workbench package with 8.0.23 version.
