then, check aapo's 2.7 meets all requirements, optification, build options etc. get preferred version into devel.

identify 2.3/2.5 external modules, push new versions as python2.7-modname.

identify list of packages depending on python and those using it as builddep, update to use 2.7. build, test and push.
The above is a perfect example of a small number of tasks that may look "small, well defined, very specific and self-contained" to someone with the required know-how. Unfortunately, to me, it
sounds a bit like "move the froodle over to the sherpool and engage the sprangle to initiate the dudangle." In other words, I have no idea what you are on about

I may have a look at that and perhaps learn a few new things in the process (for example, how to identify dependencies) but I'm afraid it will take much longer than previously expected. I have recently started a new job that requires quite a lot of commuting, which means I usually come home quite late and all that I can think of is a dinner and a bed.

Please accept my apologies for raising your expectations and then failing to deliver.
