Pretty soon, you will have to compile Python 2.7 from source on every distro, as they are in the process (and have been for years, really) of phasing out 2.x for 3.x. You can get the latest "bugfix" version from 2019 here:

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2716/

Directly from that site:

"Python 2.7 is scheduled to be the last major version in the 2.x series before it moves into an extended maintenance period. This release contains many of the features that were first released in Python 3.1."

I brought up the fact that it would become a problem back when Python support was initially added to Mystic. But at the time, Python 3.x was fairly new and they were still calling 2.x "stable". However, whoever thought 3.x was ever going to go away is crazy. :)
