 Not really...

"""
Debian 10 will continue to support Python 2 until the end of support for
Buster.
"""

https://wiki.debian.org/Python
"""
Debian Bullseye contains 2.7, 3.7, 3.8
"""

https://wiki.debian.org/Python/2Removal
"""
I hear there will still be a Python 2 interpreter in bullseye, can I use
that in my package?

No you can't. From #975014:

Debian Bullseye includes a version of Python 2.7 (and a short list of
related packages like setuptools still built Python 2 packages). However,
these are only included for building a few applications which still require
Python 2 as part of their build process. Python 2 is not supported for
running applications and there won't be any security updates for Python
2 in Bullseye.
