Hi,

Below is a quote from

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos_release_notes/macos_10_15_beta_release_notes

Scripting Language Runtimes

Deprecations

Scripting language runtimes such as Python, Ruby, and Perl are
included in macOS for compatibility with legacy software. Future
versions of macOS won’t include scripting language runtimes by
default, and might require you to install additional packages. If your
software depends on scripting languages, it’s recommended that you
bundle the runtime within the app. (49764202)

Use of Python 2.7 isn’t recommended as this version is included in
macOS for compatibility with legacy software. Future versions of macOS
won’t include Python 2.7. Instead, it’s recommended that you run
python3 from within Terminal. (51097165)
