If you believe that python2.7 should be allowed read access on the disable file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'f2b/server' --raw | audit2allow -M my-f2bserver
# semodule -i my-f2bserver.pp

Weirdly enough, when I follow this suggestion and then empty audit.log and restart my server, I still get the exact same error again.

I reinstalled this server from scratch and took some notes. This time I was successful, though I don't know exactly what I did differently this time.

Usually I work as non-root user and call sudo whenever I need root permissions.

But is this OK when enabling SELinux modules? Let's consider the example given above:

# ausearch -c 'f2b/server' --raw | audit2allow -M my-f2bserver
# semodule -i my-f2bserver.pp

Can I also perform it like this?

$ sudo ausearch -c 'f2b/server' --raw | sudo audit2allow -M my-f2bserver
$ sudo semodule -i my-f2bserver.pp

This should work. Likely the reason that it didn't resolve in one go is that there were multiple denials - but the first time it just failed on the first one. Someone else mentioned running in non-enforcing mode to allow the audit log to collect all of the denials and then generating the module - this is a good practice.
