It looks like python2.7 is easily backporteable to squeeze.
You can take a look at [1]. I rebuilt it without modifications but it probably
needs some testing.
Are you aware that preparing a backport is not an one-time thing, right?
If you sign-up for backport maintenance of such widely used package
like python2.7, you will have to keep an eye on it during all its lifetime
backporting bugfixes and security updates.
I can help with that but you have to find a DD willing to upload this backport.
