Thanks,

I checked the rdepends per Arnt's suggestion and the only results were
other python2.7 packages.

I have renamed python2.7 and replaced it with a bash script calling
zenity, as you suggested, Steve.  I then wrote a 2 line python script
using python2.7 to verify that the popup is correctly called.  It is.

I was unaware of zenity.  It was automatically installed as a dependency
of x11-utils, but I never know about it.  A useful utility, however.
