But they won't.  If you have python2.7 installed it will simply stay
there for ever unless you remove it yourself explicitly.

It's like if you have any 'top level' program installed, it will stay
there until you remove it.  Python 3.x isn't a new version of Python
2.7, it's a different/new program.

Python 2.7 would probably disappear if you upgrade to the next version
of Raspbian/Debian.
