What we will happen with Python 2 in Automotor? Since Python will go away in future version of macOS, what will happen with quick actions using this language in Automator? I am using a Python 2 script in Automator and I would like to use more of them in the future but in Python 3. In the menu for script execution, we can choose Python, Perl, Ruby and one of the many shell command line languages. But we can't choose in languages installed outside macOS. This is not very flexible but I really like this ability to create macros assigned to keyboard shortcuts. Ideally, it would be great to be able to choose any executable file. How do you think I can manage the transition to a macOS not having this possibility?

Unable to install FF14 due to Python2 errors? Im trying to install FF14 on my MacBook, something that I've done before and should be fairly easy. Ive done a bit of python development and used pyenv to make changing which python version im using easier. Initially I got an error that it wanted me to report to apple because it said that python 2 wasn't installed specifically in the location it wanted. So I went to python.org and downloaded the latest official release of 2.7.18. Now upon trying to start the game I am greeted with this error. I tried to use pip to install cxutils but I get the same error. Any suggestions?

No. That requires you to install homebrew, a compiler, and figure out the PATH issues. Worse, the Xcode or command-line tools for Xcode 11 install a crippled Python3 in /usr/bin.

I always recommend the direct installation of Python 3.8.2 from Python.org which is pre-compiled for X64, has an installer, and tweaks the PATH environment variable in dot files so one can just start using Python3 and IDLE3.

I take it you mean Python 3?
