'zsh: command not found python after running "brew upgrade"

I understand that python is not installed so I tried running the python command
python
zsh: command not found: python
When I run python3 it works perfectly however I have installed python3 using pyenv which was installed using homebrew
I understand the path is not added, this is what my ~/.zshrc file looks like
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion
source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"
export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
How do I make the python command work? Spent almost 12 hours and havent solved this yet.
What I have tried
brew install python@2
It says
Warning: No available formula with the name "python@2". Did you mean ipython, bpython, jython or cython?
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
These similarly named formulae were found:
ipython bpython jython cython
To install one of them, run (for example):
brew install ipython
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)...
Error: No previously deleted formula found.
==> Searching taps on GitHub...
Error: No formulae found in taps.
UPDATE 1 I did what @ElapsedSoul in the comments has written but it gives a new error now. this must be the Python 2 not compatible error. Unfortunately doing brew install python@2 doesnt work either, what to do?

Solution 1:[1]
import sys; print "%s.%s.%s"
That's some good old Python 2 notation if I ever saw some :)
As @ElapsedSoul mentioned. macOS 12.3 removed the Python 2 that came by default for all these years. Therefore, I would personally recommend for others not to upgrade to 12.3 if you need Python 2 until you find an alternative solution.
Some possible alternatives include the following:
Option 0: Reinstall Python 2 via Homebrew
Homebrew unfortunately got rid of Python 2 a long time ago. There are however some workarounds to try and get it to work: How to reinstall python@2 from Homebrew?.
Option 1: Use pyenv
I haven't tested this, so it might not work. But if it does, this is likely the best solution for your needs. From the following:
brew install pyenv
pyenv install 2.7.18
pyenv global 2.7.18
Option 2: Use another package manager
MacPorts, for instance, still has Python 2 available. This would also add it to PATH:
sudo port install python27
I'm sure there are other macOS package managers that provide Python 2.7 as well.
