Since python3 is a requirement for almost anything in Ubuntu I would advice to reinstall your system. You can do that WITHOUT picking the format option in the "something else" part of setting up partitions. Only mount your partitions. It will overwrite all system related files and packages but leave your personal files alone.

Mind to make sure the backups you have can be restored before attempting this. In case you pick the wrong setup during the re-install.
