Public bug reported:

This is a proposal to backport the Python 2.7.17 release to bionic.

 - python2.7
 - python-stdlib-extensions
 - python-defaults is not required, but could be used to
   trigger autopkg tests in the -proposed pocket.

The package builds are prepared in
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages

[Impact]
Provide an upstream release for Python 2.7.

[Regression Potential]
There is regression potential, however with a test rebuild of the main portion 
of the archive no regressions were found.

[Test Case]
No regressions in the Python test suite, and no regressions in the test
rebuild of the main component of the archive (all architectures)

As a test, an archive rebuild for main was performed, and no regressions
were found with this new package. The archive rebuild also contained
updated versions of gcc-7, gcc-8, python-stdlib-extensions and
python2.7. The GCC and Python packages should not infer with each other.

[Validation]
Analyze the build logs for regressions.
The OpenStack packaging team is checking OpenStack against the built packages 
in -proposed.

Summary of the test rebuilds:
https://people.canonical.com/~doko/ftbfs-report/test-rebuild-20191107-bionic-bionic.html
https://people.canonical.com/~doko/ftbfs-report/test-rebuild-20191107-bionic-gcc7-bionic.html

The first one is a reference build, the second one the test rebuild with
the updated components.

There are no additional regressions except for one Python test, which sometimes 
hangs on the buildds, sometimes passes (test_ttk_guionly). Will
be disabled in a follow-up upload.
