I fully upgraded my kali linux version but this happened, how do I solve it
Is this a virtual machine or a host-install?
To fully update the system you run these commands;
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade -y
apt update is needed to synch the repo with the latest packages
apt upgrade will not upgrade the system properly, it has to be ‘full-upgrade’ this is written in the Kali docs
as for the python error, have you used the pipx python install?
I ask because pycache errors can often be caused by this, as pipx installs files locally to folders, not globally to the system, so unless you supply a path to the python file, it doesn’t know where to find it.
no virtual,host install
still the same no change
I don’t think it was meant as a solution, just a correction of something another person here advised to do wrongly.
If I had to guess, I’d say you previously installed some tools from outside the kali repositories and ignored warnings about incompatibilities, thus resulting in this unstable state right now.
If that’s the case, either carefully and meticulously undo what you did before, if you still have log files about it - or install kali anew.

how to fix?
As I already told you - this is not a simple case of “enter that command and everything is fine”.
If my assumption is correct, then this is on you, and i gave you options.
At this point, I think it would be quicker to do a reinstall.
