Hi Gary,

This message is about the future removal of Python from macOS (if you click the "Learn More" button, it will take you to a page about this IIRC).

Actually, "future" here is about to become present: Python has been removed completely from macOS Monterey 12.3, presently in Beta, see

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/macos-12_3-release-notes

You can still get Python by installing Xcode or the Command Line Developer Tools (actually, if you type python3 in Terminal, a dialog will pop up offering to install these tools). But that's python3, whereas TLU calls python aka python2. 

Same if you get Python from python.org: it's also python3.

Adam is working on a solution.

Bruno
