  • If I understood correctly you are saying that any software which was using the embedded python runtime won't work anymore on a fresh install of macOS Monteray 12.3. Correct ? Commented Feb 17, 2022 at 8:55
  • I cannot confirm that. I haven't installed 12.3 beta so I'm not 100% sure whether it will actually delete the existing /usr/bin/python or whether it will just stop shipping it with fresh installs. Commented Feb 17, 2022 at 9:09

    I just installed the beta of Monteray 12.3 (upgrade from 12.2) and I can confirm that unfortunately python has been removed. If you type python in the command line the result is command not found. If you type python3 a pop-up is displayed asking you to install the developer tools. Commented Feb 17, 2022 at 10:10
