The simple answer is no.  The longer answer is, if you want to propose a 
patch to backport the fix, it's more likely that somebody will do the 
work to commit it as support for 2.7 has been extended until 2020. 
Please note that I said "more likely", there's no guarantee given that 
Python relies so much on volunteers.
