CLI does not work on macOS beta 12.3

[Pringlers]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.63.2
• OS Version: macOS Monterey beta 12.3 (21E5196i)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run Terminal
2. Run code

$ code
/opt/homebrew/bin/code: line 6: python: command not found
/opt/homebrew/bin/code: line 10: ./MacOS/Electron: No such file or directory

$ code-insiders
/usr/local/bin/code-insiders: line 6: python: command not found
/usr/local/bin/code-insiders: line 10: ./MacOS/Electron: No such file or directory

Apple no longer ships Python 2 as of this macOS version.

Same here on macOS 12.3 beta with current

brew install visual-studio-code
brew install visual-studio-code-insiders

After reading dupe #134635 patching

# vim /opt/homebrew/bin/code
# vim /usr/local/bin/code-insiders
- function realpath() { python -c "import os,sys; print(os.path.realpath(sys.argv[1]))" "$0"; }
+ function realpath() { python3 -c "import os,sys; print(os.path.realpath(sys.argv[1]))" "$0"; }
CONTENTS="$(dirname "$(dirname "$(dirname "$(dirname "$(realpath "$0")")")")")"
ELECTRON="$CONTENTS/MacOS/Electron"
CLI="$CONTENTS/Resources/app/out/cli.js"
ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 "$ELECTRON" "$CLI" --ms-enable-electron-run-as-node "$@"
exit $?

Got me back up and running as a temp workaround

After reading duper #134635 pathing the following way seem to a better idea so we maintain compatibility between Ones

#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
# Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
# Licensed under the MIT License. See License.txt in the project root for license information.

function realpath() {
  if [[ ! -z $(which python3 | grep "/python3") ]]; then
    # python3 is installed and will be used
    python3 -c "import os,sys; print(os.path.realpath(sys.argv[1]))" "$0";
  elif [[ ! -z $(which python | grep "/python") ]]; then
    # Didn't find python3, let's try python
    python -c "import os,sys; print(os.path.realpath(sys.argv[1]))" "$0";
  else
    # Python is not installed at all. Exit with error.
    echo "Python is not installed."
    exit
  fi
}

CONTENTS="$(dirname "$(dirname "$(dirname "$(dirname "$(realpath "$0")")")")")"
ELECTRON="$CONTENTS/MacOS/Electron"
CLI="$CONTENTS/Resources/app/out/cli.js"
ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 "$ELECTRON" "$CLI" --ms-enable-electron-run-as-node "$@"
exit $?

This script offers the option to check for python3 if python3 is not there then we look for python and eventually we return an error if python is not installed at all.

Much better than the hard crash we have at the moment.
