The problem is that python2 was EOL since Jan 1st, 2020.

On the other hand, brew no longer support python@2 as well. (, )

trying to uninstall python2 with brew uninstall python@2 is an option.

$ brew uninstall python@2
Uninstalling /usr/local/Cellar/python@2/2.7.15_1... (4,169 files, 76.0MB)

What solved for me was linking openssl back to 1.02 to make python2.7 working again. Check if openssl 1.0.2 is intalled:

ls /usr/local/Cellar/openssl

which should show: 1.0.2r

Now link openssl to 1.0.2r:

brew switch openssl 1.0.2r
