I’m trying to update PlatformIO IDE from 2.4.1 to 2.4.2 (the some with 2.4.3)
I am getting an error about Python not being installed: “Can not find working Python 3.6+ Interpreter.”

According to the documentation it states that Python is already installed on the Mac and cerifi but
pip install certifi
did:
DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 2.7 in January 2021. More details about Python 2 support in pip can be found at Release process - pip documentation v23.0.dev0 pip 21.0 will remove support for this functionality.
Requirement already satisfied: certifi in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages (2021.10.8)

And
python --version
did:
Python 3.10.3

PlatformIO Core has been successfully installed into an isolated environment /Users/IgorA/.platformio/penv!

The full path to platformio.exe is /Users/IgorA/.platformio/penv/bin/platformio

If you need an access to platformio.exe from other applications, please install Shell Commands
(add PlatformIO Core binary directory /Users/IgorA/.platformio/penv/bin to the system environment PATH variable):

Unfortunately, adding /.platformio/penv/bin/ to $PATH didn’t change anything.

MacBook-Pro:~ A$ platformio --version
PlatformIO Core, version 5.2.5

Besides:
$ python get-platformio.py check core
Found compatible PlatformIO Core 5.2.5 → /Users/IgorA/.platformio/penv/bin/platformio

Please uninstall your local Python 3.10.3. Try to install it again using this guide Redirecting...

You need to install certificates. Restart machine. Restart VSCode.

I will try to do it.
