Python (was Shortcuts under MacOs Sonoma)

[Isaac Oscar Gariano]

Interestingly I've never had this problem on windows as LyX comes with a python in it's installation directory. Perhaps the MacOS version should do the same, or at the very least give a very clear error message.  It might be worth opening a bug report for this. (I've also had LyX tell me it can't find the a LaTeX class, when I definitely had LaTeX installed properly; I can't remember what the cause of it was though, probably my fault for not building LyX properly).

Yes, I had seen this thread and I had reviewed it.

What I didn’t expect, was that the upgrade would suppress something!

I don’t know how Python was present before the upgrade (builtin?) However, I have installed the Python3 pkg from the official Python website before I could read your advice.

Let’s see if that persists across the next upgrades!
