[Bug 1853525] [NEW] no python 2.7.17 in LTS version

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

I am sorry you have an issue with python on Ubuntu.

By policy, Ubuntu does not blindly upgrade toolchains to point releases in
an LTS release, but we go through extensive validation with rebuild and
autopkgtests across all of our supported 6 architectures, which is usually
in excess of upstream testing. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

Note your bug report suggests that you are using out of date package. rc1
is not the latest version of python2.7 in bionic. It has been updated to
final release, and has had security updates since. Can you please verify
you are using 2.7.15-4ubuntu4~18.04.2 ?

What particular issue are you having? Can you provide a minimized
reproducer? Traceback? Segfault / coredump? If we have those details about
the issue you are experiencing we can work towards resolving it with
regression testcase, patch and eventual release of an SRU.

I understand you feel frustrated, but please take some time to explain in
detail the issue you are experiencing.
