There's no law saying you cannot install an old version of Python 2.7 manually is there? I assumed this was just removing it from being bundled.

Yeah, and it’s been years or decades since you wanted to use the bundled software on MacOS for stuff that was important. Them removing Python 2 probably will fix more problems due to multiple Python installs than it will break anything. I tend to get a lot of support questions on “how to make this Python thing work on my Mac laptop” and I have seen some screwed up things.

Of course.

Brew, docker, no idea if they have working release on the site, but that’s another possible way.
