Python 2.x is also vulnerable to CVE-2021-28861, we should fix that here too.

Nothing much seems to depend on python 2.7.18 currently, just python itself and lsb.  youtube-dl has presumably been converted to python 3.
$ file /usr/bin/youtube-dl
/usr/bin/youtube-dl: a /usr/bin/env python3 script executable (binary data)

Checked out a couple of learner scripts - they worked fine.

Updated using the list in comment 6.  Clean installation.
The ttk script failed to find the tkinter package, possibly because it did not address it properly but the simple functionality script worked fine.

Difficult to know just how to test this so these tests shall have to suffice.
Leaving it without an OK in case somebody has a better idea.

$ python2 try.py
ImportError: No module named Tkinter

try:
    import tkinter
except ImportError:
    import Tkinter
    tkinter = Tkinter
    del Tkinter

exit()

Did you install tkinter?

Eratosthenes Sieve for python2

You are correct David - missed a step, drakrpm-update after qarepo.
Getting too old and senile for this job.  Just lost my reply as well.

Fixed that and now Eratosthenes Sieve works but there is still trouble with tkinter (which is definitely there now)  try.py now works - no exception raised.  The module needs to be addressed as Tkinter but submodules like ttk cannot be found.  This is a programming problem - I don't know python so cannot take it any further but would suggest that this should not hold up the update.

Validating.
