Not a comment on your instructions but on your recommendation to use Python 2.
Python 2, currently Python 2.7, will be officially deprecated by the Python Software Foundation on 2020/01/01.
From the Debian Python Policy statement:
They haven't said how soon after 2020/01/01 this will occur.
Some Python 2-isms run as-is in Python 3. Some don't. There are porting guides and utilities available to aid in the transition.
Best to stay ahead of the curve.

PS - if you like this sort of thing, here's a countdown clock.

Quote:Debian currently supports two Python stacks, one for Python 3 and one for Python 2. The long term goal for Debian is to reduce this to one stack, dropping the Python 2 stack at some time.
