Ubuntu software center not loading

I have tried loading up the software center in order to install some packages but it doesn't seem to open. I tried entering the following command in terminal: 

software-center

and get the following error: 

bash: /usr/bin/software-center: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: Permission denied

I was able to open all snap sofwares (including the software center) by just restarting the snapd service like this:

sudo service snapd restart

Or

sudo systemctl restart snapd

Using ubuntu 20.04 with default configurations means you should ignore answers prompting you to explore gnome-software adjustments. This version uses the snap-store to manage applications. This worked for me.

    $ killall snap-store
    $ snap-store

Try this out, killall snap-store then relaunch the app

Turns out some default package files for python were missing: 

sudo apt-get -m --reinstall install python python-minimal dh-python
sudo apt-get -f install
