Python files missing [duplicate]

  • 772

I committed a big mistake. I issued the following command on my terminal

sudo apt-get purge python

I didn't read what it removed :(

I use LaTeX typesetting system and some of it's packages are not working now. I've asked my question here.

If I've lost the python files, is it needed to reinstall the full OS or something else might help me out of this?

    I copied your list and compared it with the programms I have installed (Ubuntu 19.04). Then I removed every package that was makred "automatically" at my system. They will be installed on your system, too but marked as "automatically" too.

    sudo apt install asymptote feynmf fragmaster inkscape latex-cjk-all latex-cjk-thai lyx lyx-common prerex python-all python python-bs4 python-chardet python-crypto python-cycler python-dbus python-gi python-html5lib python-idna python-keyring python-lxml python-matplotlib python-pil python-pkg-resources python-pyparsing python-secretstorage python-six python-subprocess32 python-tz python-xdg qbittorrent texlive-extra-utils texlive-formats-extra texlive-full texlive-lang-other texlive-music texlive-pstricks texlive-science texlive-xetex vprerex

    That are all the programms you have to install. The "automatically" marked programms will follow. If you want to verify if the rest is installed you may run

    apt list python-all-dev python-asn1crypto python-backports.functools-lru-cache python-cffi-backend python-cryptography python-dateutil python-dev python-enum34 python-ipaddress python-keyrings.alt python-numpy python-olefile python-pip python-scour python-setuptools python-tk python-webencodings python-wheel texlive-latex-extra texlive-pictures

    and check if the rest was installed. If not, install each of the missing as "manually".
