Apple removed old Python 2 from macOS 12.3. Arduino ESP32 depends on Python interpreter.
Build in Arduino IDE may fail with error:
| 1 | "python": executable file not found in $PATH |
It’s sufficient to change name of binary to python3
Edit file
| 1 | ~/Library/Arduino15/packages/esp32/hardware/esp32/2.0.2/platform.txt |
Change the line:
| 1 | tools.gen_esp32part.cmd=python "{runtime.platform.path}/tools/gen_esp32part.py" |
To line with python3:
| 1 | tools.gen_esp32part.cmd=python3 "{runtime.platform.path}/tools/gen_esp32part.py" |
Re-open Arduino IDE and build the project.
