Go back to 2.3.6.2

And try to symlink python3 to a directory in your PATH

	ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/python

or if that squeals

	sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/python

If you run

	find /Applications/LyX.app -type f -exec grep python {} ';'

you'll see that a number of files want python (and not python3).

As an aside:

	I use homebrew's python3.10.8 which symlinks to
	/usr/local/bin/python3 and if I am not mistaken to
	/usr/local/bin/python (but I may have done this manually) so
	python is always found and always equates to the (latest)
	python (3.10.*) installed by homebrew.

		Added complication for homebrew is of course that on the
		M1 /usr/local is replaced by /opt/homebrew in the above,
		but as that's in my PATH it doesn't matter.

	As my two Desktop machines do not support Ventura I'll have to
	software update them after the (long) weekend (at the coast
	:-)-O) to 12.6.2 and see what that does.  12.6.1 has
	/usr/bin/pythin3 as well but that's 3.9.6

	There is a reason for this (homebrew) madness.  Namely I need
	to run some Python modules (installed with PIP) and I need the
	same version on all of my machines, obviously :-)-O
