I tried to install python dependencies to install zenmap, since I'm on a computer with arm64 architecture, I installed this particular package, but that didn't help either, tell me what to do

apt - dpkg python-rpi.gpio dependency problems

Every time i try to install something, upgrade or autoremove this error happens!
I've searched the web and tried some fixes but they don't seem to work, I don't have python2.7 installed only 3 and can't install python2 or anything because of this. I've tryed to sudo rm python-rpi.gpio_0.7.0-0.1~bpo10+4_armhf.deb but the file will keep comming. Pls I really need some help since I've got some work on my pi and don't want to get a new image

Some notes: I really really don't want to change the SD Card and parcially lose what I have, second I've tried sudo apt-get install -f and sudo apt update --fix-missing when i followed this guide the sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove --reinstreq command was showing this error dpkg: error: unknown force/refuse option 'remove'

As it turns out I still had remainnings of Python2 and Python3 binaries and those were not linked properly by the OS, this means that Python3 was linked to Python2 and vice-versa.
To get it working I had to:
Uninstall the Python2 dependencies
Get the link working correctly
Reinstall Python2 with wget
Verify if all links are working correctly (for Raspbian this means):
python --version links to Python2
python2 --version links to Python2
python3 --version links to Python3

Use the following commands:
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives//python-rpi.gpio_0.7.0-0.1~bpo10+4_armhf.deb
Still have the same problem, use:
sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-rpi.gpio.* /tmp/
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq python-rpi.gpio
A typo in your command sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove --reinstreq isn't valide. The correct option is --force-remove-reinstreq. See dpkg --force-help.

Installation using setup.py is now impossible on macOS Big Sur

I have 2 of my projects that install perfectly fine on ubuntu, both require python3.8, both are installable using python setup.py install and I occasionally uninstall / install them from / to virtual environments as well as globally for testing purposes. Recently, all kinds of troubles and error messages started to occur not following any special event, I just woke up one day, and tried to install one of them, I got an error, then I tried the other and got another error. I will include both setup.py scripts and show the steps I follow on macOS Big Sur 11.0 to reproduce the results, given that both install perfectly fine on Ubuntu with the same list of respective dependencies.

Installation works perfectly fine on Ubuntu and used to work perfectly fine on macOS even after I upgraded to Big Sur, it just suddenly decided to never work again.

Attempt 6:
I checked the issue here and accordingly:

Opencv is being built, I'm not sure why or what triggered the build so I aborted and manually installed opencv using pip:

Can't install packages like simpleHTTPServer with pip2.7

I'm trying to install a module called simpleHTTPServer but can't do so as described below:
root#kali:~# pip install simpleHTTPServer
DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python2.7 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 2.7 in January 2021. More details about Python 2 support in pip can be found at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support pip 21.0 will remove support for this functionality.
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement simpleHTTPServer (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for simpleHTTPServer
root#kali:~#
I've screwed up my python2.7 a few hours ago by accidentally removing (rm) the python2.7 file in /usr/bin instead of renaming it with mv because i didn't pay attention to what i was doing. So I removed everything that had to do with python2.7. I've then managed to download python 2.7.18 from the official site and executed these commands below AS ROOT:
cd /home/johnmap007/Downloads/Python-2.7.18
./configure
make
make install
python setup.py clean
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
Then I got back up and running. pip started to work ok and python gives me the interpreter when i execute it in the cmd line. I am running Kali Linux by the way. I tried installing other packages like scapy and they worked. I don't know why i can't install this specific package. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: For some reason, as i was running apt upgrade, i got errors about python2.7 not being configured the right way:

I have no idea what happened and i tried running dpkg --configure -a already. Can someone help me please?

That's in the standard library, so you don't need to install anything
https://docs.python.org/2/library/simplehttpserver.html
You can start it with
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
But you should use Python3, anyway, where it's renamed
python3 -m http.server
I removed everything that had to do with python2.7
You're modifying operating system files at that point, and Kali Linux uses Python for more than your own scripting purposes. But based on /usr/bin/python2.7: not found, you could start symlink-ing files around to fix at least that error

Remove mercurial-common from Ubuntu 15.04

I'm having Python 2.x problems on Ubuntu 15.04. I wanted to completely uninstall and reinstall Python. I can't uninstall Python because mercurial-common depends on it. I try to remove that and I get an error:

The mercurial-common removal scripts use python
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mercurial-common.prerm
If you type which pyclean I assume it exists.
However I suspect you python problems prevent it working. (you could try running it manually to verify this)
Unfortunately pyclean is in package python-minimal so you prolly can't uninstall this before mercurial-common.
you could try just removing it manually by:
sudo mv /usr/bin/pyclean /usr/bin/pyclean.backup
(Just remember to put it back).
Alternatively rather than completely removing python you could try just reinstalling python package .deb over the top of the existing install using dpkg --install
