Can't Find Python (or Something) - pklind - Nov-26-2023 I've been trying to use Python for several days without success. So I am seeking support. I am running MacOS Sonoma 14.1.1 on a new MacBook. I installed 'successfully' Python 3.12.0. I had a long Python script that I have not been able to get running as every attempt, no matter what I do, results in file not found errors. So I wrote a simple Python script titled hello_world.py in hopes I could locate and repair the situation. Here is my code: `# Print the message "Hello, World!" print("Hello, World!") `No matter what I do I get this result: `zsh: command not found: python `I have verified with the command python3 --version that Python exists as it returns 'Python 3.12.0' I have verified that the PATH included usr/bin and usr/local/bin I have tried adding a .zshrc file with paths to these directories. I have even tried explicitly running the commands /usr/local/bin/python hello_world.py and /usr/bin/python hello_world.py Every attempt simply returns the same or similar error indicating command not found or sometimes no such file or directory. Three days in, I would cherish hearing from anyone who may know what I am doing incorrectly. thanx, ken RE: Can't Find Python (or Something) - perfringo - Nov-26-2023 Too little information (for example how have you tried to run the code) but this should be self explanatory: Quote:zsh: command not found: python It appears that you have python3 but you get error for trying to run python.

Python is not pre-installed on Mac automatically anymore. Previously Mac came with a pre-installed Python 2.7 and then python command did return 2,7(now dead💀).(Nov-26-2023, 02:23 AM)pklind Wrote: I have tried adding a .zshrc file with paths to these directories.You can use alias in .zshrc file .Do first which python3 the result Path:alias python=/<your path>/python3Then both python and python3 point to Python 3.12.Some other way in this link like eg using pyenv . |
