Python2 installation seemed incorrect

[YuTang]

I just learnt that a list of workflows no longer worked because of the removement of python2 in Mac OS 15.3. And I finally get Homebrew installed and followed the instructions in [this page](https://www.alfredapp.com/help/kb/python-2-monterey/), but the installation of python2 seemed incorrect all the time. Could you please give me some instructions on how to get it installed correctly? thank you so so much~

ln -s /usr/local/bin/python /usr/bin/python

@YuTang It seems installed correctly. It’s not supposed to be in /usr/bin/python. It isn’t clear why you have it in both /opt/homebrew/bin and /usr/loval/bin, though. Did you install Homebrew with Rosetta in the past?

To confirm, are you on Apple Silicon? What’s the output of ln -s /opt/homebrew/bin/python?

 

In addition to reinstalling Python 2, you also need the updated versions of those Workflows (but always check the alternatives first). In the case of the Omnifocus Workflow, you’re on an old version anyway. The developer has converted that from Python 2 to Node.js.

That won’t work because of SIP. And that’s a good thing, because you shouldn’t be putting stuff the system doesn’t expect in /usr/bin.

[YuTang]

Thanks for your kind reply! I'm really on Apple Silicon. And the output of ln -s /opt/homebrew/bin/python is ln: ./python: File exists

I remember having tried to install Homebrew before but failed and it's recently that I finally get it installed. as I have actually no knowledge of programming, I'm not sure whether this has any influence on the installation of python.

[vitor]

What are the outputs of ls -l /opt/homebrew/bin/python and ls -l /usr/local/bin/python?

 

And have you installed the newest version of the OmniFocus Workflow? As stated, that one no longer uses Python. If that one is all you’re after, there’s no need to proceed with the Python 2 installation.

[YuTang]

The outputs are here:

Thank you for your kind reminder, I have already installed the new OmniFocus workflow. Yet there are still several workflows that I'm now using and that rely on python2, so I do wanna get it installed~

Are you doing as above?

Yeah, I would like to use a workflow named google similar images, its bundle id is here: net.deanishe.alfred-google-similar-images

[YuTang]

Also I like the Star Ratings workflow very much, it seems that it also relies on python 2. As forI've switched to the new version of OmniFocus workflow, thank you so much!

That is on the list. You have to download it from the table.

The one was not on the list (it is now) because no one has requested it before. If you want it, you have to ask for it. Everything is explained on the page.

So what's on earth the problem with my installation of python2, or if there is no problem, why I'm still prompted "/bin/bash: line 2: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory" when I attempt to use workflows that rely on python2?

[vitor]

You are not using the Workflow from the table. You have to download them from the table I’ve linked.

Thanks to the help of Vitor, I finally got a new version of it that seemed to work on my new Mac without python2. But it still doesn't work properly, and the error info is here:

As I actually have no knowledge of programming, I can't make sense of it and have no idea what the problem is. I would highly highly appreciate it if you could please help me about this! ❤️

Please don’t make new threads for the same issue. Merging it with the other one.

That is not the download from the table, you are still getting the outdated version. You have to download from the table, there is a direct link which says “Download” in the “Updated Version” column.

[YuTang]

I'm so sorry, it's until now that I made sense of that, thank you once again ww

[YuTang]

I do follow the instructions, but the situation is still the same, and I have no idea what's the problem, omg
