This workaround (which I have used successfully on Ubuntu 22.04 and 
22.04 after getting the same error as you with the Python 2.7 appimage) 
was posted by Charles on the list:

You don't actually need to do any build/install step; it's just a shortcut.

Unpack the getmail tar file wherever you want it to live, and edit the 
included `getmail` script so that the first line is:

   #!/path/to/your/python2-appimage

You can edit the getmail_maildir and getmail_mbox similarly if you use 
those.

Then you can execute getmail from that directory, or symlink it into a 
directory that's in your PATH.

Best regards,
