This is tricky, when I did something similar by accidentally updating system pip I ended up needing to needing to reinstall. Hope someone can help you.

I'm not sure if apt is still working or not. Removing python might have broken apt too. Go to TTY mode using Ctrl+Alt+F1 (or F7). Login and runsudo apt install python-minimal.
