When I try to run a python command I get a warning about missing module 'encodings'. So I set the PYTHONHOME variable as described in other SO answers, but it still can't find 'encodings'
[root@fedora ~]# python help

In case it matters, I recently installed a cross-compilation environment (for Raspberry Pi) on this x86_64 Fedora 34 host. But I don't think that should matter. I tried to reinstall python with dnf reinstall python but now Python doesn't run, neither do dnf and other utilities.
