Well, I am a slow upgrader. I an still on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Xenial, and do not know why I would want to "upgrade," which it seems just breaks things. Xenial works perfectly for me, and as long as it does, I will not be changing versions!

It's listed under Active Python Releases and the latest version 2.7.18 was released April 20th 2020.
That makes it still current and supported.
