For reference, this is has info on the Python 2 version on many popular software repositories: https://repology.org/metapackage/python2/versions I did this to check for repositories that don't have any 2.7 package: $ curl -s 'https://repology.org/api/v1/metapackage/python2' | \ jq -r 'group_by(.repo) | .[] | "\(.[0].repo): \(map(.version))"' | \ grep -v '"2\.7' centos_6: ["2.6.6"] maemo_fremantle: ["2.5.4","2.5.4","2.5.4","2.5.4"] rosa_server_6_9: ["2.6.6"] -- Eduardo
