I keep saying this a lot... the EOL you are referring to is Python's
declared date that the Python team will no longer maintain Python2.
HOWEVER, Redhat, Debian, etc., *will* still be maintaining Python2
throughout the lifecycles of their releases that contain Python2.   So,
for Debian 10 (Buster) that is well past 2022 (which is the LTS end-data 
for Debian 9).

Stop being scared by the Python team's misleading messaging.
