Title:
  There is no installable python package on Focal

Status in python-defaults package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  There is no installable "python" package on Focal. An attempt to
  install it produces the following error:

  $ sudo apt install python
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... Done
  Package python is not available, but is referred to by another package.
  This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
  is only available from another source
  However the following packages replace it:
    python2-minimal:i386 python2:i386 python2-minimal python2 python-is-python2 2to3 python-is-python3

  E: Package 'python' has no installation candidate

  This breaks the installation of many other software packages which
  have the "python" package as a dependency.
