Fedora 37: 2023-a990c93ed0 Major: Python 2.7 Denial Of Service Issue

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.
