I am unable to install python 2.7 in my RHEL8. It already bothers me that I cannot find the python package outside of the Centos7 repository, but when I try to install there is a ton of broken dependencies:
sudo dnf install python gives me:

Complete! And of course, python is not produced. I am at my wits end. Do I have any other option to install python? (and I need python, not python3, as the executable/scripts I'm trying to run were written in python, and if alias python to python3, I obtain all sorts of errors). Are there rpm packages for python 2.7 that do not become a dependency nightmare?
