Latest Mac OS update has broken ISYN

[phillipsoliveira]

Latest update has broken ISYN, I get the following error:

Code 126: /Users/filipe/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred/Workflow Scripts/1D095DD5-6658-4FE4-AB31-8E669C6D093F: ./isyn: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Could someone help me fix this?

The difficulty is that macOS 12.3 no longer has Python 2 installed by default. (See Alfred blog post for more.)

Here's how I was able to get ISYN working again:

• Install Python 3 (this post from Martin Novak has good instructions)
• Confirm where Python 3 is located. For me, the Terminal command ls -l /usr/bin/python* confirmed that the install directory was /usr/bin/python3.
• Open your Alfred preferences, right-click on the ISYN workflow, and choose Open in Finder
• Open "isyn." For me it looked like an executable file, but you can open it with TextEdit or the code editor of your choice. At top, where you see #!/usr/bin/python, change that to the location of your Python 3 installation (so for me it was changing it to #!/usr/bin/python3).

That should solve that error. Once I did that, I had one more error, regarding /isheetyounot/core.py. On line 136, where it says os.makedirs(dp, 0700), I took out the "0" before "700" (so now it reads os.makedirs(dp, 700)). That conforms to Python 3 standards, and now ISYN works for me.

Hope that helps!
