Check whether you haven't got any Raspbian packages that use Python 2.7
and no other Python programs from 2rd parties or written by yourself.

If you don't have any of these dependencies it can be removed.

To search for them:

- if you write Python, grep your local source files for strings unique to
  Python 2.7 such as library functions used by 2.7 and not by 3.7

- running "apt-get --no-remove autoremove"  should report any packages
  that were installed to satisfy dependencies without removing them.
  **** caution I've not tried this, but its documented in the apt-get
  **** manpage.
