[ol8_appstream] python2-2.7.15-24.0.1.module+el8.0.0.z+5235+929bd06e.x86_64

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.
For the unversioned "python" executable, see manual page "unversioned-python".
