There could be multiple reasons which can cause zsh: command not found: python when you try to run a Python program on the Mac Terminal. One of the most common reasons is that you have Python3 installed on your Mac
Fix 1: Use Python3 instead of Python
% python3
Python 3.9.6 (default, Aug 5 2022, 15:21:02)
[Clang 14.0.0 (clang-1400.0.29.102)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
Fix 2: Install Python using brew
If Python is still missing install Python using Homebrew package manager for Mac,
% brew install python
Fix 3: Python Path is not set
You might already have Python installed but the path is not set. Update the path in .zshrc file.
