linker-wrapper.sh fails on macOS 12.3 since bare python is not found

[khongi]

After updating the macOS to 12.3, linker-wrapper.sh does not find the python command since python 2.7 is no longer bundled with the OS.

Mmm, interesting. This is configurable with pythonCommand but we should try harder -- perhaps we look for python, then python3, then python2?

@khongi can you tell me if python3 would succeed on macOS 12?

[khongi]

Yes python3 would work, currenty I use it as workaround.

Any update on this? I fixed this by reinstalling Python 2.7.18, but co-workers have run into this issue as well

No update, but it should be straightforward to address. I think the most sensible thing is to invoke where python{3,2,} on Windows and which python{3,2,} on non-Windows and parse the output. Handling path splitting and executable extensions manually doesn't sound great.

Patches wanted!

Further to this: now the test suite runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux in CI, so it'll be easier to address this and be confident that it's working cross-platform.

I added
rust.pythonCommand=/opt/homebrew/bin/python3
to samples/app/local.properties

run this in terminal to resolve this issue. It will point python -> python3.
sudo ln -s $(which python3) /usr/local/bin/python
