QID 670921: EulerOS Security Update for python2 (EulerOS-SA-2020-2527)

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 documentation for Python 2 is provided in the python2-docs package. This package provides the "python2" executable; most of the actual implementation is within the "python2-libs" package. Security Fix(es): In Python 3 through 3.9.0, the Lib/test/multibytecodec_support.py CJK codec tests call eval() on content retrieved via HTTP.(CVE-2020-27619)
