#918 has initiated a replacement process for
pykg-config
for systems (possibly since Catalina) providing no/usr/bin/python
anymore. Howeverppkg-config
as a general substitute raises other problems described in #918 (comment), so I am putting up modifications to detect a/usr/bin/python3
installation as an intermediate workaround, at least until the time Apple will no longer provide any Python interpreter with the macOS/Xcode installation.Possibly still needs some instructions to install xcode[.app] or add it as a Dep in case python3 is not included with the system installation (do not remember if it was for Monterey 12.3, but the python3 executable has the same timestamp as the clang* binaries...).
