Cannot install python2 using brew install python@2

Question

I am trying to install python2 using:

brew install python@2

These are the results I get:

Error: No available formula or cask with the name "pip2".
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)...
Error: No previously deleted formula found.
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
==> Searching taps...
==> Searching taps on GitHub...
Error: No formulae found in taps.

According to my research, python2 was removed from brew. I also ran:

brew search python

I got the following results:

My question is: Is there another good way to download python2?

Answer 1

You can download the last release of python 2 here but notice that python2 is already in End Of Life state and no longer supported.

Answer 2

You could just download it from the website and use the GUI installer. https://www.python.org/downloads/
