idle is not opening

I've read all the article about this problem on the forum but none seems to have had this such problem.

i have been using idle for 1 month and everything was ok. Then, yesterday, all of a sudden it stopped running. Whenever I try to open a .py file with idle it appears a banner saying:

I tried to update my Mac version to Big Sur but it still not opening. i also tried to go to system preferences, security and privacy, and the python box is already ticked

I hope you'll understand what's the issue, thanks.

You will need the following PATH in your Zsh startup file (~/.zshrc) so that all of the Python 3.9 binaries can be found when you attempt to run them:

export PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin:.:/usr/local/bin:${PATH}"

The Python.org installer does not do this for you, except in the Bash ~/.bash_profile dot file. Then either quit the Terminal or issue the following command in it to set the PATH update:

source ~/.zshrc
