[Python] Problem with multiple packages because of missing Python in Ubuntu 24.04 [closed]

I may have accidentally deleted python from my Ubuntu and it looks like I can't install other packages because it needs python, but when I try to install python it says I need python installed to install it?

All these commands return the same thing

sudo apt reinstall ubuntu-drivers-common

sudo apt remove --purge python3.12

sudo apt install python3.12

sudo apt install python3
