There was some recent news about a vulnerability in pkexec that's been around for 12 years. Who knows what Python 2 exploits are still undiscovered in a similar manner? Since it's no longer actively supported, attackers have all the time they want to find those problems.

If you’ve made Python setuid, your security model is already garbage.
