System malfunctioning after uninstalling python3

Question

I use Parrot OS v4.7, there was an issue with Pyinstaller (Dependencies problem but all the dependencies were fulfilled/installed) so I googled and tried to uninstall and reinstall Python3.

I ran

apt-get remove python3

but it started removing other packages as well, now the computer is not functioning normally.

It deleted:

• Mate-interface
• bluefish

screenshot is not working, it says:

Failed to execute child process “mate-screenshot” (No   such file or directory))

• dashboard
  

• and many other packages, the system is not functioning as it was before.

and now when I try to reinstall Python3 to get them back, error occurs. It gives the following output while running

When i run

apt-get install python3

or

apt-get install --reinstall python3

i get:

Please help me to reinstall the Python3 and get the deleted packages back such that the computer may work properly.

Mostly it deleted the system packages.
