"Lyx must be updated"

As per our personal conversation, I have seen this too, over the
weekend.

The window offers two choices one (something like) "Learn more...", the
other "ok".

If you click on "Learn more..." it takes you to

	https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2

Can it be that this is caused by something like

	#!/usr/bin/python

instead of

	#!/usr/bin/env python

the former will, in my case use the Mac Monterey python 2.7, the latter
Homebrew's python 3.9.

greetings, el
