When I run gnome-terminal from Xterm I get:
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/init.py", line 42, in
from . import _gi
ImportError: cannot import name '_gi' from 'gi' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/init.py)
I've already tried:
sudo rm /usr/bin/python3
sudo ln -s python3.5 /usr/bin/python3
sudo apt-get install python3-gi
sudo apt install python3.5
I also reinstalled the terminal, yet nothing has worked.
Python output:

the above commands you show are dangerous and I can only guess you issued similar ones which got you into this pickle ... instead leave alone your system defaults and have your client scripts do the choosing which flavor of python to use ... much safer and critically it avoids melting system infrastructure

So, what should I do to fix it?

the above commands you show are dangerous and I can only guess you issued similar ones which got you into this pickle ... instead leave alone your system defaults and have your client scripts do the choosing which flavor of python to use ... much safer and critically it avoids melting system infrastructure

Before issuing above like commands always keep notes on what the release was prior ... so before issuing this
sudo rm /usr/bin/python3
you should make a note of what release is the default by issuing
python3 --version
which on ubuntu 18.10 shows
Python 3.6.7
now you need to investigate what a bog standard 18.04 was using and put it back ... without knowing that you can see what python releases your box has by issuing
which python
which python3
which could say things like
python3 is hashed (/usr/bin/python3)
so cd into that dir and view its siblings as per
cd /usr/bin/
ls -la | grep python
for me on 18.10 its showing

for you you may see other python versions ...
Looks like 18.04 wants python3 to be 3.6.7 ... so issue
sudo update-alternatives --config python
and it should give you option to choose 3.6.7

Before issuing above like commands always keep notes on what the release was prior ... so before issuing this
sudo rm /usr/bin/python3
you should make a note of what release is the default by issuing
python3 --version
which on ubuntu 18.10 shows
Python 3.6.7
now you need to investigate what a bog standard 18.04 was using and put it back ... without knowing that you can see what python releases your box has by issuing
which python
which python3
which could say things like
python3 is hashed (/usr/bin/python3)
so cd into that dir and view its siblings as per
cd /usr/bin/
ls -la | grep python
for me on 18.10 its showing

the above commands you show are dangerous and I can only guess you issued similar ones which got you into this pickle ... instead leave alone your system defaults and have your client scripts do the choosing which flavor of python to use ... much safer and critically it avoids melting system infrastructure
