What is the system process that happens “under the hood” when you run /usr/bin/python3
. I know (and there’s a useful post here) that python is no longer included in macOS, and you have to install the Command Line Tools so when you run python3 the real executable is /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/python3
.
So my question is: if it’s not a symlink, what is really happening whith this stub file?
