'zsh: command not found: python' after reinstalling Monterey and Python.

I re-installed macOS Monterey and Python. I open the terminal and execute Python. This is the result:

~ $ python -V
zsh: command not found: python

The python3 command works:

bin $ python3 -V
Python 3.10.4

Create a symlink

The solution is to create a symlink

• Open a Terminal
• Goto /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/bin/
• List the directory with ls -la

bin $ ls -la
.
.
lrwxrwxr-x   1 root      admin      10 May 29 19:05 python3 -> python3.10
.
.

In here you see a python3 symlink that points to python3.10.

• Create a new symlink with the following command.

ln -s python3.10 python

• Close and re-open the Terminal
• Enter the following command:

~ $ python -V
Python 3.10.4

Voila. You can now use the python command to execute Python 3 scripts.

It works in a virtual environment too:

$ python -m venv env
$ source env/bin/activate
(env) $ python -V
Python 3.10.4
