  There is no official way of doing this, and any instructions I might 
give would probably stop working at some unknown point in the future.

What you can do is install the last historical Cygwin before python2 was 
removed, using the Cygwin time machine [1].

A *fresh* install using something like 'setup-x86_64 -X -O -s 
http://ctm.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/64bit/2023/07/08/131151' 
and then select python2 and any other needed packages for installation 
should work.

The cygwin mailing list is currently open access, that is, anyone can 
send a mail to it, without being a subscriber.  The email address for 
the list is also shown on the mailman page which invites you to subscribe.

Please do not contact me directly in future.
