[ubuntu-studio-users] Next Gimp issue - no python

[BabsKy]

All 'python' commands (tried a few variations) returned "command 'python'
not found",
'python3  --version' returned 'Python 3.8.2'.
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.
