ActiveState is a company that is maintaining a fork of Python 2 to fixes
its security issues. Their support is paid, however the code is
open-source. See the details here:
https://www.activestate.com/products/python/python-2-end-of-life-security-updates/

This enable us to drop a bunch of CVE's patches for Python 2.7 and also
it should be easier to maintain, since we can just bump the version once
ActiveState tags a new version.
