2.4.0~RC1 hangs on macOS

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

An alias is only evaluated by the shell, so you could always either

   ln -fs /opt/local/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/python3
   ln -fs /opt/local/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/python

and see if that works.

There is a way of setting environment variables like PATH with launchctl
so that Apps can find it but I don't know if that works for aliases.

And of course you can use the full path of python in the converters
