strange, python27-2.7.18-2 postinstall script should have set
/usr/bin/python.
Same for the test packages

python36             3.6.12-2
python37             3.7.9-2
python38             3.8.6-2


$ which python
/usr/bin/python

$ ls -l /usr/bin/python
lrwxrwxrwx 1 Marco Administratoren 24 Dec 28 21:29 /usr/bin/python -> 
/etc/alternatives/python

$ alternatives --display python
python - status is auto.
  link currently points to /usr/bin/python3.8
/usr/bin/python2.7 - priority 27
/usr/bin/python3.8 - priority 38
/usr/bin/python3.6 - priority 36
/usr/bin/python3.7 - priority 37
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/python3.8.














can you try the test packages ?
