Same question found here but without a valid solution. The problem is that typing python in the terminal produces:
The program 'python' can be found in the following packages:
* python-minimal
* python3
Try: sudo apt install <selected package>
In fact, $ which python returns nothing. Additional information:
~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin:/home/fontana/bin:/home/fontana/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin
By default python should point to python2.7 in /user/bin. If I type python2.7, python runs normally. How to restore the default behavior when typing python in the terminal?
EDIT: Potential source of the problem: I've recently installed python 3.4.6 (in /user/local/bin) using the following commands. Than I tried to reinstall python 3.4.6 since there was a problem with pip now fixed.
./configure
make
make test
sudo make install
command-line 16.04 python

DO NOT change the system version of Python. You will break your system horribly. Change it back. If you must add a new version of python, then install it manually instead of using packages.

I'm not capable to restore the previous situation. My impression is that pointing python (when typed in the terminal) to /usr/bin/python2.7 should do the trick, but I don't know how (maybe using export PATH?).

I fixed the problem with
sudo apt install python-minimal
as suggested in the warning message. I have decided to install python-minimal rather than python3 since the latter was already working smoothly in the terminal.
