"Fatal Error" on Monterey (no Python on Monterey, but even after installing Python, still error)

[daniel-hmc]

Nightscout Menubar has encountered a fatal error, and will now terminate.
A Python runtime not could be located. You may need to install a framework build of Python, or edit the PyRuntimeLocations array in this application's Info.plist file.

It seems that Python 2.7 and even Python 3 is not shipped / installed with macOS Monterey.

My solution attempt:

1. Installed Python 2.7 from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2718/ (macOS 64bit)
2. Added to /Applications/Nightscout Menubar.app/Contents/Info.plist in section PyRuntimeLocations:
   /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python

Then, in terminal:
3. rm /Applications/Nightscout Menubar.app/Contents/MacOS/python (which was symlinking to a wrong location of python: It's not installed in /usr/bin/python anymore, but in /usr/local/bin/python)
4. ln -s /usr/local/bin/python /Applications/Nightscout Menubar.app/Contents/MacOS/python

When I try to launch Nightscount Mebubar, it seems to go a little further, but still, I get a little dialog saing "Nightscount Menubar Error" with the buttons "Open Console" and "Terminate".

In Console (system log) I just see
Apr 24 01:01:25 MBP5 Nightscout Menubar[6316]: Nightscout Menubar Error

Now, I don't know what I could do anymore.

Here's an alternative menubar you can use while this issue persists: https://github.com/mpangburn/NightscoutMenuBar. It's a comparable experience and the current release works on Monterey.

@daniel-hmc python 2 is deprecated. Normally macOS does have python3 installed by default. You can try by entering the command python3 in terminal. I used Monterey and this app worked fine, until I made my nightscout site private.

This one is easier to install (App store) and doesn't need python: https://github.com/adamd9/Nightscout-MacOS-Menu-Bar
