Description:Summary:

Vulnerability Insight:
Python 2 is an old version of the language that is incompatible with the 3.x
line of releases. The language is mostly the same, but many details, especially
how built-in objects like dictionaries and strings work, have changed
considerably, and a lot of deprecated features have finally been removed in the
3.x line.

Note that Python 2 is not supported upstream after 2020-01-01, please use the
python3 package instead if you can.

This package also provides the 'python2' executable.

Affected Software/OS:
'python2.7' package(s) on Fedora 33.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
