Checking availability of current mirror: ok
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Unable to locate package python

Solution 1:

I think you haven't update repo, look like you have just install termux. Anyway, execute

apt update

and then install any package.

Solution 2:

termux has haulted all update through google playstore download it from f-droid then change mirror it works (sometime)

termux-change-repo

or change it manually by editing

sources.list

file in directory

$PREFIX/etc/apt
