sudo apt-get install python

Do sudo apt-get install for the other packages that you want to reinstall.

Don't worry, you just removed the Python interpreter which is needed by some applications, including many system components; some of those components may have been removed to respect the dependency tree. This is a very common mistake.
We can try to solve the problem before a re-installation.
Backup your data before proceeding (you can install and use Midnight Commander "mc" to have easy life).
From a terminal (xTerm or the fullscreen Virtual Terminal are both fine) execute those commands in order:

  1. sudo apt-get install python python2.7 python2.7-dev
  2. sudo apt-get install aptitude
  3. sudo aptitude update
  4. sudo aptitude upgrade
  5. sudo aptitude -f

From the Aptitude's Curses GUI (the console graphics) install any missing package.
Some of those command may be redundant, but I don't know the state of your system.

Please, feel free to make any question by commenting under here and don't forget to press the UP arrow on the left if I'm of any help.
Good luck.

Switch on your computer.

Wait until the BIOS has finished loading.

Press and hold the Shift key, which will bring up the Gnu Grub menu.

Select the line which starts with Advanced options.

Select the line ending with recovery mode,something like:

Ubuntu GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.16.0-25-generic (recovery mode)

Press enter and your machine will begin the boot process.

Your PC display a menu with a number of options.

Select of the options will be, Network - Drop to root shell prompt.

You boot in a terminal, run the commands

sudo -i
mount -o remount,rw /
mount --all
apt-get update
apt-get install --reinstall python python-apt python-apt-common python-aptdaemon python-dbus python-dbus-dev python-debian python-defer python-jinja2 python-lxml
apt-get -f install

Spanish:

Inicia en modo recuperación (ya lo haz hecho).

En el submenu selecciona en este orden las opciones:

network
root

Iniciarás en una terminal, ejecuta en ella los siguientes comandos:

sudo -i
mount -o remount,rw /
mount --all
apt-get update
apt-get install --reinstall python python-apt python-apt-common python-aptdaemon python-dbus python-dbus-dev python-debian python-defer python-jinja2 python-lxml
apt-get -f install

Python es parte integrante de Ubuntu, jamás debes desinstalarlo, si necesitas otras versiones puedes instalarlas conjuntamente.
