how to recover ubuntu 16.04 after removing python

Question

I tried to install python3 using these commands.

1. python3 -V
2 sudo apt-get install idle-python3.4

But however after installed python3 I just wanted to remove what I installed, so I unstalled python. Now my computer's GUI has been removed. How do I recover Ubuntu?

Log in to terminal and do apt install ubuntu-desktop, that should bring back Unity. You might be missing other packets too though.

Terminal is not working. Even ctrl + alt + T shortcut isn't working. – hennamusick Jan 18 '17 at 11:58
the terminal depends on python (like anything else in life) – Jacob Vlijm Jan 18 '17 at 12:00
Ctrl-alt-F1 should work – Soren A Jan 18 '17 at 12:05
