Take a look at what python stuff is in /usr/bin right now. There should
be several symbolic links.
* ls -l /usr/bin/python* /etc/alternatives/python*
My guess is that /usr/bin/python is either missing altogether or is
pointing to some version of python2 that has been removed. If you run
this command it will set /usr/bin/python to point to
/etc/alternatives/python, which in turn will point to /usr/bin/python3.
* sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python
/usr/bin/python3 1
* python --version
should now return 'Python 3.8.2'
That should get the 'python' command pointing to a valid python
installation again. Your next issue might be that some older python
scripts will have to be updated to be compatible with python3, but
fixing those will be a one-time thing and will get you positioned well
for the long term.

I think it's Gimp python as this has been an issue before, as I
mentioned, but I don't know what specifically to install, it doesn't
seem to be 'Gimp python' as it was before.
I've tinkered with thonny for writing python scripts for Gimp and it
that it was pygimp but I'm stumped. I don't want to randomly install
stuff in case I make it worse.

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.
