Python 2.7 removed from macOS 12.3 = broken workflow

• Reported in early March
• Workaround is to reinstall Python until a new release is available

Will you rewrite this workflow

Yes, I have a basic version of the workflow using javascript in progress at the moment. Aiming to release it for evaluation next week

@Doslin Not sure the installation of Python2 has worked correctly for you? The workaround from Alfred is working fine for me.

Meanwhile, can I help you with this version of javascript? I'm looking forward to this version very much

Dear rhydlewis,

Unfortunately, the

Temporary workaround 👉 https://www.alfredapp.com/help/kb/python-2-monterey/

did not work for me. Homebrew installed everything correctly, but I cannot launch the shortcuts using Alfred. Do you have any tips on how to troubleshoot this? No idea where to start.

Alternative would be to directly use the new javascript version. Do you know when you will release this update? I use your workflow many times per day and dearly miss this great functionality. Thanks for letting me know.

Best regards

Updated Third-Party Python 2 Workflows

With macOS Monterey 12.3, Apple removed the bundled Python 2 interpreter. That means older Workflows dependent on Python 2 will no longer work without modification.

That’s what this repository is for. It contains existing third-party Python 2 Workflows tweaked so you can keep using them until they are updated by their developers or you switch to an alternative. If a Workflow you use isn’t present, request it here or on the forum.

Before installing any of these, you must follow the knowledge base article to install Python 2 to a location recognised by Alfred.

WARNING: All Workflows in this repository are made by third-parties. They were modified just enough to keep working but their contents have not been audited so make sure you trust the original author.

All Workflows retain their original license.

Dear Doslin,

Finally I got it to work again. Thanks so much. I previously missed the link to the updated script.

Best regards
