Red Hat still supports python2 https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4455511
Eh, barely. The support is limited to bugfixing and security patching, only on rhel8 (we’re on rhel9) and only up to june 2024, in less than a year.
I don’t understand what the point of having official support from RH is worth when you can’t use any new libraries meaningfully. The libraries are much of the reason to use python.

Bank of America used Python 2 (as of 2016), I suppose they would have updated their software.
