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.
