I installed python on my macbook and run install shell in the installation folder and then update shell... and my terminal ruined. Now whenever I open in, it continuously writes bash bash on top of the shell, in the name place of the windows, near Terminal - 80x24 and do its process nonstop and no command work when I type it in the window and after a minute the operation stops and it writes there that [process completed] and then I can't type anything in that window anymore. I don't know what to do. I reinstall the macOS, reset and hard reset the shell, quit it, delete its data file in Preferences folder in Library... but didn't fix.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.1

I already replied to your other thread here:

FYI, there is no reason to create two threads for the same issue as it makes things confusing to contributors. We are just other users such as yourself who are volunteering our own personal time to assist people and it is frustating & a waste of our time if we end up repeating things in multiple threads for the same person & issue.

I suggest you uninstall Python and retest if that removal fixes the problem. If it does, you know the source. Use the developer's instructions on removing it or use app AppCleaner.

Reinstalling the OS does not affect any apps. So if you reinstalled but left Python there, you're right back to where you started.

You need to determine if Python is the culprit.
