Honestly, the easiest path for now is to use a Docker container to install something like Oracle Linux 8... and use the Python 2 from that environment.

Agreed about using the docker container.

It shouldn't be needed, but it honestly sounds like there's way too much conflicting information around the Python 2 build process for an average user to make heads or tales of it.

You can build Python 2 with pyenv extremely easily. After installing pyenv you just run pyenv install 2.7, then point your $PATH to the folder containing the python2 binary so UXP picks up the new Python 2 build.
