Wrong python3 location for macOS Catalina #19

Open jashsayani opened 4 years ago

jashsayani commented 4 years ago

macOS Catalina comes with Python 3. It is at /usr/bin/python3.

Would be nice to change the default location in the script or detect OS version and use the correct path for Catalina for 10.15.x

Are you still having issues with this? I upgraded to Catalina and it has continued to work with no error?

jashsayani commented 4 years ago

I had the issue, which got fixed when I changed the python location.

Hello, I am still getting a similar issue and error message despite updating line 3 in the script to /usr/bin/python3. I also tried out /usr/bin/python and that does not work either.

Just confirming on 10.15.7 I have PYTHON="/usr/bin/python3" in my script file and it works (with non critical errors). I am not aware I did anything special with Python to get this to work. What OS version are you running?

Kusine commented 3 years ago

Thanks for your reply, yes I am running 10.15.7 and on line 3 of the script file, I have PYTHON="/usr/bin/python3". I am confused. I installed the latest Python via Homebrew.

I am no expert here but it seems we have similar setups and mine is working. So I will try and help! What is the response if you run which python3 in the terminal?

Kusine commented 3 years ago

Thank you @charlietomo for your willingness to help me out, I appreciate it! If I do which python3 I get /usr/local/bin/python3. If I do which python I get /usr/bin/python3.

No it doesn't. MacOS comes with python2. You need to install python3 separately. See https://installpython3.com/mac/
