I can't compile and I'm stuck here.

@kiralikbeyin I just tried the compilation on a new M1 MacBook Pro, but I did not see any such errors. Can you specify the exact steps you followed?

I just installed esp-idf onto a new MacBook Pro with an M1 Pro and experienced the same issue.

It seems the esp-idf install.sh script creates a Python virtual environment. The version of Python installed into that will be the same as the version of Python installed on MacOS.

When installing esp-idf using the default Python 3.8, I experienced the reported issue.

I then removed esp-idf, then installed Python 3.11.1 using macports and configured that version as the default for "python3", then installed esp-idf again.

Installing esp-idf under Python 3.11.1 worked as expected. I was able to do a fullclean and build without issue.

Well, after deleting my build folder to do a clean build, I am running into exact same problem as the OP. I was using v4.4.3 then also tried installing a brand new v5.0.3, but both exhibit same problem. I have also tried updating my Python to v3.11.3 and v3.11.4 from the previous 3.9.3 but that didn't work either.

Anyone has found a solution for this? Now I am totally stucked ☹️

P.S. MacOS running is 13.3.1 on a M1 MacBook Pro
