It is now past the sunset date and yes, it's long past time to move on. In April, 2020, Python 2.7.18 was released which bundled the last fixes to 2.7.17 and that was it for any updates. Your nuclear power station is going to explode? Update the software to Python 3 instead of spending time working around the limitations of Python 2.
