I need 2.7 to satisfy jbig2enc:

Python is such a junk language that it allows NO backward
compatibility.  Many software developers are not willing
to always rewrite their code to keep up.  Therefore, many
versions of python are necessary.

That's why I say fuck Python.  Use Perl and be free of
the update treadmill.

Perl is the best.  Python is the "Apple" for ignoramus
developers.
