@Gophyr because I messed up python beyond repair, and I've installed linux dozens of times so I thought it would be a breeze

@j4cobgarby did you try purging and then reinstalling Python?
-
@Gophyr yep

@j4cobgarby huh. Weeeird.

@Gophyr it sure is
At this point I'd be happy to get back to my computer like it was before
Another dev on my team just got a new machine. Before he came in today I made two separate USB installers and ...
Two days ago on my linux partition python was being weird, and I couldn't fix it no matter what I tried. Logical option was to backup /home and then reinstall linux
Two days later I want to die, for whatever reason I can't properly boot from a live USB without getting "input/output error", and I've already erased my previous linux installation at this point.
Anyway, I still have windows, and I think that the problem might be faulty RAM (I get i/o errors with any live USB) so I booted into windows, let it do some updates and now I'm checking my memory
After this, I'm going to open up my PC and check that the RAM sticks are all in properly
