Thanks. I have tried your suggestion.you are probably better off using an alternate name to call python 3.12.
These commands should hopefully get you back to a better state
cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3.8 python
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3.8 python3
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/python3.12 python312
That will allow you call the original python by invoking python and the newer version via python312. You can of course use different alias names but it's probably best to leave the provided version with the names python & python3.
The commands were accepted. However I still have the same error message issue of
