Same question found here but without a valid solution. The problem is that typing python in the terminal produces:



The program 'python' can be found in the following packages:
* python-minimal
* python3
Try: sudo apt install <selected package>


In fact, $ which python returns nothing. Additional information:



~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin:/home/fontana/bin:/home/fontana/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin


By default python should point to python2.7 in /user/bin. If I type python2.7, python runs normally. How to restore the default behavior when typing python in the terminal?



EDIT: Potential source of the problem: I've recently installed python 3.4.6 (in /user/local/bin) using the following commands. Than I tried to reinstall python 3.4.6 since there was a problem with pip now fixed.



./configure
make
make test
sudo make install

    DO NOT change the system version of Python. You will break your system horribly. Change it back. If you must add a new version of python, then install it manually instead of using packages.

  • I'm not capable to restore the previous situation. My impression is that pointing python (when typed in the terminal) to /usr/bin/python2.7 should do the trick, but I don't know how (maybe using export PATH?).

I fixed the problem with



sudo apt install python-minimal


as suggested in the warning message. I have decided to install python-minimal rather than python3 since the latter was already working smoothly in the terminal.
