Package 'python' has no installation candidate?

[Sonkinator1991]

So, I've been trying to get this to work for a while, but that first line of code I have to paste in terminal just throws me a Package 'python' has no installation candidate. I'm not sure how to fix this, can you help me?

Python 2.x is provided by the python and reached end of life years ago. You will need python3; however, the Python code being run (and written for Python 2) may be incompatible with Python 3.
