While 2.7.18 hasn't been updated since 2018, it's also the last version of Python 2.

I've got several programs stuck in 2.7.18, as they have sizable dependancies that never got updated to Python 3 -- unless I'm willing to rewrite several large Python packages, I'm stuck here forever. As long as the program isn't network connected, I don't see a problem with fixing a Python version, and set of packages, and leaving the software running forever.




Oh good catch, I thought python 2's depreciation was more recent, time flies I guess!
