Here are the steps I used:
1. Check current system python version is 2.x
sudo python --version
2. Execute this command to switch to python3
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python
/usr/bin/python3 1
3. Verify system python version is now 3.x
sudo python --version
based on steps I found in this post:

I'm surprised that python (for Gimp) isn't installed by default on
Linux, that's what's caused this issue before.
I'll try anything to get it working, python plays a large part of my
Gimp workflow.
Sorry to ask but how would I manually set python3 as the default?

Can you try 'python3'? On a side note, I was surprised that
python3 was note the default in the upgrade. I had manually set
python3 as the default in my 19.10 and that was switched back to
python 2.x when I upgraded.

So I did a clean install and Gimp now loads and works mostly OK.
The issue now is it can't find python.
I know this has been an issue with Gimp on Linux previously and
it could be solved by 'sudo apt install gimp-python', but this
doesn't work.
Output from terminal '/usr/bin/env: ‘python’: No such file or
directory'
I can see there's no env in bin.
Does anyone know how to fix this please?
I have searched online but the solutions aren't relevant to the
current Gimp version/Linux.
