Could not find the minimal preferred Python version.

print("Could not find a preferred Python version.")

I get this error but also have python, als well as python3 installed. With which python I get the path /usr/local/bin/python in the appenv script current_python variable has the value /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3.9 which is also a working python.

Even though I cannot run the script and get the error Could not find the minimal preferred Python version.

The problem here is that we expect a specific version binary to be on the path (e.g. python3.9) but do not try to figure out what the "python" and "python3" executables really are. I guess we could do that.

Any news here? We ran in this problem again on a new mac OS installation.

Ah, I'll poke @elikoga and @zagy about this.
