Help repairing broken Python base on Linux with Miniedit-WiFi setup

Question

I previously uninstalled Python3.12 (on which I had ran Miniedit-WiFi tool) and left the default Python3.11; however the following console-log error keeps popping out whenever I run a Python script on the Python3.11 regardless of whether I run from a Virtual environment or from the base Python interpreter. (The default Python3.11 is also however still broken too as I cannot install anymore packages using pip despite other projects than the. (This is on Kubuntu-Mantic)

I have ran another TensorFlow ML script that works well in its virtual environment and realized that the issue is in the Python sudoer system; the console output I shared above always comes when I try run a Python script with sudo privilege (eg: sudo python3 /path/to/any/python/script ); So I opened all the setup files in /etc/sudoers.d/ but could not see any trace of the Python3.12 path setup yet the Python path is clean with only the default base Python3.11 & Python3.7 This issue can after I used the sudome app for automating sudo privilege for my Miniedit project in Pycharm when I had Python3.12 install, but after I uninstalled the Python3.12 and cleared it out of the Python path, I can no longer run Python scripts with sudo privilege as the console output suggests its Python path pointing to the Python3.12 which I uninstalled already. Can anyone can help me trace where this output is coming from

I realized the base Python3.11 configuration file and base-script were in /usr/local/bin/ so I used in the terminal:

sudo nano /usr/local/bin/python3-config

to edit every instance of 3.12 to 3.11, saved the config file and finally

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt upgrade

Rebooted the PC and it worked!
