web3.py does not officially support anything earlier than python 3.7, soon to be 3.8. Earlier versions of python 3 may still be mostly functional, but I doubt it would work with python 2.

web3.py<4 did support python 2, so if that's your only option you could try it, but a LOT has changed in the library since then.
