Description Jens Troeger 2025-07-31 22:42:44 UTC 
Looks like several of the recent LO drops for Mac don't run `python` anymore. Output from my console:

> uname -a
Darwin pooh 22.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 22.6.0: Thu Apr 24 20:25:14 PDT 2025; root:xnu-8796.141.3.712.2~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 i386 Darwin

And various LO versions:

> LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice --version
LibreOffice 24.2.5.2 bffef4ea93e59bebbeaf7f431bb02b1a39ee8a59

> LibreOffice.app/Contents/Resources/python

and

Killed: 9

I've not tried others.

Thanks,
