With the deprecation of Python 2.7 in macOS, there can be legacy custom software that might have a condition script or installation script written in Python. To avoid unwanted Python deprecation prompts on macOS Monterey and above, your end-users might be prevented from installing certain software or validating if the software was installed correctly as a status message will be shown.
