Python 2.7.10 is compatible with Python 2.7.2.  Python 2.7.2 has been 
extensively tested within the UEFI environment and some people
have a dependency on a particular version of Python so I made both versions 
coexist.
Once Python 2.7.10 has been used by the community for a while, Python 2.7.2 
will be deprecated and eventually removed from the
repository.

Is Python 2.7.10 incompatible with 2.7.2 or why didn't you just update the
existing port?
