python2.7 is circa 2010 with updates through 2019 https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2716/ You should be able to install it in a segregated user virtualenv. Once safely there portage won't touch it and backups are a breeze because it's in your account. While I don't use it I imagine there's almost got to be a way to do something similar with Anaconda. If worse comes to worse then set up a VM with an older distro version and run it in the VM. 2.7 isn't on any of my Ubuntu systems but it appears to be in the repo. HTH, Mark
