I am struggling with cutting off python 2 functionalities from ubuntu 20. I have a project that porting to python 3 may take a lot of time so i have to use ubuntu 18 packages to satisfy its module imports/dependencies. Unfortunately installing those packages with apt install ./old-deb-package.deb isn't an option because it wants to downgrade or remove some already installed packages.

Is there a way to install or attach somehow those packages locally to one project only so they would be a part of it, not part of the whole system?

I tried to do it brute force just unpacking .debs to a single directory inside the project and adding entries to import path variable alongside with LD_LIBRARY_PATH but it still is missing some internal modules like for example for glib it cannot import _glib.

I am trying to use python2 bindings for gdal on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, which does not have the python-gdal package in it's repository, to run an old python2 application.

I tried to download and install it from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS repository:

sudo wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gdal/python-gdal_2.2.3+dfsg-2_amd64.deb

sudo apt install ./python-gdal_2.2.3+dfsg-2_amd64.deb

But got the error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies. python-gdal : Depends: gdal-abi-2-2-3 but it is not installable Depends: libgdal20 (>= 2.2.2) but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I also run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and apt-cache policy python-gdal libgdal20 with output:

python-gdal: Installed: (none) Candidate: (none) Version table: libgdal20: Installed: (none) Candidate: (none) Version table:

Is there any way to use python-gdal without conflicts to run the app on Ubuntu 20?

i am trying to launch an old python2 script. On ubuntu 18.04 i installed python-glade2 and it worked, unfortunately ubuntu 20.04 doesn't have it in repositories. Is there a way to get this gtk.glade module? Maybe some other library that provides it?

@edit: after following N0rbert's suggestions gtk/glade are installed but, unfortunately I also need python-gdal which I was trying to install in a similiar way and got error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies. python-gdal : Depends: gdal-abi-2-2-3 but it is not installable Depends: libgdal20 (>= 2.2.2) but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I assume that some packages from Ubuntu 20 that i need conflicts with the ones from ubuntu 18.

output of apt-cache policy python-gdal libgdal20:

python-gdal: Installed: (none) Candidate: (none) Version table: libgdal20: Installed: (none) Candidate: (none) Version table:

I am wondering if downloading .debs from ubuntu 18, then extracting only .py files and copying them into script directory is an only option here –
