苹果系统无法正确连接python到python3
MAC建立python软连接，不生效
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/python
jason_zhao@192 bin % python
xcode-select: Failed to locate 'python', requesting installation of command line developer tools.
首先取消原有的软连接：
sudo unlink /usr/local/bin/python
prompt keeps popping up asking me to install the command line developer tools
After installing xcode13.3, a prompt keeps popping up asking me to install the command line developer tools, but I have already installed it, and this prompt keeps popping up, what should I do?
-
// xcode-select --install ? i enter this xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates // got this
but this system always tell me: python: error: Failed to locate 'python'. xcode-select: Failed to locate 'python', requesting installation of command line developer tools.

The python command was traditionally an alias for Python 2.x, which is no longer available. If you want to use the built-in Python 3, invoke it with python3. However, in most cases it’s best to install your own Python because Apple’s built-in copies have been deprecated. You can learn more about this in the Scripting Language Runtimes section of the macOS Catalina 10.15 Release Notes.

I am running into the same problem and cannot find a solution. This is what I see (note the developer command line tools are installed)
$ python
xcode-select: Failed to locate 'python', requesting installation of command line developer tools.
$ python3
Python 3.8.9 (default, Jul 19 2021, 09:37:32)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
$ ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/python
$ which python
/usr/local/bin/python
$ python
xcode-select: Failed to locate 'python', requesting installation of command line developer tools.
$ /usr/local/bin/python
xcode-select: Failed to locate 'python', requesting installation of command line developer tools.
$ /usr/bin/env python
xcode-select: Failed to locate 'python', requesting installation of command line developer tools.
If I put another python on my PATH (outside of /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin) it seems to work fine. Eg,
$ ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /some/other/path/python
$ export PATH=/some/other/path:$PATH
$ which python
/some/other/path/python
$ python

However, this is not a tenable solution and I have hundreds of scripts that rely on #!/usr/bin/env python. Is there a way to get xcode-select to stop prompting me to install command line tools for python?
I'm getting the same repeated prompt while trying to set up playwright in VSCode.
npm ERR! 2 warnings generated. npm ERR! xcode-select: Failed to locate 'python', requesting installation of command line developer tools. npm ERR! make: *** [Release/sass.a] Error 72 npm ERR! *** ERR! build error npm ERR! *** ERR! stack Error: make failed with exit code: 2 npm ERR! *** ERR! stack at ChildProcess.onExit (/Users/!/repos/Sia-dashboard/node_modules/node-***/lib/build.
clicking install on modal begins download and installation but process isn't completed, as when returning to VSCode to continue playwright setup, I get the same error messages again
Python is installed (Python 3.10.5), I have previously installed Xcode command line developer tools, so I'm not sure why I'm stuck in this loop.

Create a symlink as vishal098 suggested below.
Doing the following command
xcode-select -p
results in
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
Then I took a look at /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/ didn't have any python binary. However there was a python3 binary. So I created a symlink and this solved my problem. Following is the command I ran
sudo ln -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/python3 /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/python
This created the required python binary for xcode and solved the issue.
So general solution would be to find out where xcode-select is looking for python binary and then create a symlink in that location

Thanks macos 12.4; xcode 13.4.1;
xcode-select -presults in/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/DeveloperGood enough for now -

Thank you @vishal098! Your solution worked for me.

Thanks ! Worked for me.
same issue

Thanks! That really works for me.
I've spent four days on this already. Reinstalled my system tried all of the mentioned above suggestions and a bunch more from stack overflow and it's still not working properly.
I'm on macOS 12.5 and Xcode 13.4.1. I'm building an app using NativeScript and I can't release the app because every time I go to product > archive Xcode says Python command requires the command line tools. When I agree to install it will look like it installed but then start over.
Xcode-select -p results in /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
I tried:
sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/python3 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/python
and
sudo ln -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/python3 /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/python
None helped. I also tried
sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/python3.8 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/python
as I noticed there's python3.8 in Xcode's folder but that didn't work either. I'm a bit confused why Xcode is looking for Xcode in it's own folder now and doesn't use python3 that comes with macOS.
In addition to all of the above I also tried installing global version of Python using pyenvand followed the instructions listed on NativeScript docs https://docs.nativescript.org/environment-setup.html#macos-ios
Please help
-
thx!！ worked for me！
-

These updated Nativescript docs helped me! I had the exact same issue as you on MacOS Ventura https://beta.docs.nativescript.org/setup/macos#installing-python-and-six
The solution for me was to uninstall python I previously installed using pyenvand just do it via homebrew with brew install python - it installs v3.9.13. And the final step is to run
sudo ln -s $(which python3) /usr/local/bin/python
How do I uninstall python?
i couldn't find the original post - thanks that person- manually install from that link solved my problem https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=command%20line%20tools
This fixed it for me xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch

Thanks, that was what did it for me! Just suddenly started today.

Indeed. I was getting a big traceback and
sh: line 1: 2700 Abort trap: 6 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -sdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk -find clang 2> /dev/nulljust runningclang. But afterxcodebuild -runFirstLaunchand it works now! Thanks! -

Thank you, did work for me too!
Only this helps me. Thanks for sharing.
This is the only thing that worked for me as well thank you :)
xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch - did work for me, thank yuo!
Wow Apple, ***... get your shit together.
~> xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch
