When you try to run Python3 command or most developer commands on the macOS Sonoma Terminal app you will be prompted to install the xcode-select tools.
Code2care@Mac % python3 --version
xcode-select: note: No developer tools were found, requesting install.
If developer tools are located at a non-default location on disk,
use `sudo xcode-select --switch path/to/Xcode.app` to specify the Xcode that you wish to
use for command line developer tools, and cancel the installation dialog.
See `man xcode-select` for more details.
The "python3" command requires the command line developer tools.
