create the /etc/alternatives/python link for you just fine. <br>

<div>Take a look at what python stuff is in /usr/bin right
now. There should be several symbolic links. <br>

<div>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. <br>

<div>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. <br>

<div>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. <br>
