I know it is funny situation but i removed python with all associated programs from Ubuntu using sudo apt-get remove python? Obviously i can install back python, but it will take me a lot of time to install all programs that i removed. Maybe there is some solution?

Thanks

There is not an easy way but if you look at /var/log/apt/history.log you can see what was removed. Just reinstall each package that was removed.

if you 

 apt-get install python

Python will be reinstalled with all of its prerequisites which is what I'm assuming was all the associated programs your speaking about?

I have already installed Python, but programs which where dependent on it like Zim, GImp and a lot of others wasn't reverted(( Even Gedit isn't working – IgorDiy Apr 18 '12 at 20:11
-1. Doesn't resolve the OP's question in that everything that needs Python got removed also. – Adrian Apr 19 '12 at 14:23
