Hi James,

I’ve started to try your latest alpha release.
I’m on a M1 (not my usual XTension computer, just for the alpha testing) and Mac OS 12.1

I’m getting an error with the Hue interface:

> The point of this release is to completely remove the requirement for the system to have python2.7 installed which was removed in OSX 12.3. If you can run the above alpha until there are some errors to report or until something happens that doesn’t work properly and has some log entries you can send me that would be very helpful in making sure the same problems don’t show up in the next actual release. Since no other changes to the database are made you can go back to the last release at any time it starts to give you trouble.
> 
> I fully expect there to be problems as the changes from Python2 to 3 are many and some are subtle and not obvious from code review. I have been running this build for days on my own machines without any further problems but this does not test every single possible code path that had to be altered. Once you have some log data for me you can go back to the release until I can sort it out.
