Ok,I know. It’s my own fault. I bypassed venv for something I needed and it borked my python. Yes I was warned. Yes I did it anyway. Yes the result is exactly what I was warned against.
Now with that out of the way 
, is there a way I can fix this without reinstalling the system or am I just royally screwed?
It really depends on what exactly you did, but you can probably just reinstall the system-provided python packages - that will get you to where they are supposed to be.
Did that already; still getting weird errors.
Share the errors, and we may be able to help. It’s impossible to diagnose “weird errors” without knowing what they are.
In fact, in addition to the errors, more information about what exactly you did that caused a problem with python in the first place (ie, you installed something to the system using pip, in spite of the errors; you haven’t specified what it was, and that information would be useful.)
What you are doing when the “weird errors” happen would also be incredibly important information to know.
The more detail about the relevant parts of your setup, commands you’re running, and so on - the easier it will be for anyone to help you.
It’s virtually impossible to diagnose unspecified “weird errors” as a result of “installing something”. Troubleshooting requires factual information, and as we can’t look over your shoulder, we only know what you tell us.
