I accidentally purged python2.7, can you help me restore?

On Ubuntu 16.04 (Unity) I accidentally did apt-get purge python2.7 python-pip python-dev (I wasn't aware of the fact that python 2.7 is used by so many important apps.
After getting a small heart attack and reading online that I could end up with a very stripped down Ubuntu, I was actually surprised that everything looked the same. Even after a reboot.
Now I notice some things actually not working anymore, like the Samba client with Nautilus for example.
Can you help me restore everything that got removed? I extracted this list of packages from /var/log/apt/history.log:
https://pastebin.com/4W5dRUAw
Should I just extract the raw package names and feed them through apt-get install or do the right packages have to be installed to reference to the dependancies?

Thank you, that already looks very promising! What I wanted to aim for with my last question was: Are these packages being marked as manually installed by reinstalling them this way? Is that a problem when I want to remove them later? Can you also show the commands you used to get the packages from my list formatted so nicely? That would be great!

Yes, the packages are marked as manually installed by reinstalling them this way, and that will not be a problem if you want to remove them later because the packages are installed in exactly the same way either way, To format the package list I replaced the beginning and ending characters of the strings to be removed by < and > characters in Gedit and then pasted the entire string back into my answer enclosed by<pre>at the beginning and</pre>at the end. This converts the entire string into preformatted text which does not show any text between each pair of the < and > characters.

Another way to do the same thing in the terminal with a one-liner command is:sed -e s/:amd64 [^,]*,//g input.txtwhere input.txt contains the original unformatted text.
