Default Python dylib for Reaper Scripts - M1

Got my Macbook M1 and Reaper set-up and running

I'm looking to get my scripts working (DDP etc..)
But there is no Python on the system ... ok, I follow the link in the reaper preferences to install .... everything installs fine . .

But I can't find the needed dylib anyplace to point Reaper to it . .


Anyone know where this lives on M1 systems?

Bingo, that did it . Thank you



Here it is for future searchers ...


Homebrew-installed Python's libpython is located in:
Code:
/usr/local/opt/python/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib
The exact version-specific filename must also be specified in the field below: libpython3.9.dylib (just a symlink to ../Python, but REAPER refuses to load without the name ending in .dylib).
Thanks so much! That helped me fix it.

If anyone else faces this problem (and I assume more people will once they update to 12.3 and if they use a Python script), here's the path that I used to direct Reaper to the latest version of Python that Homebrew installed:
Code:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib
And then in the box just below the path, "Force ReaScript to use specific Python .dylib:", I put
Code:
libpython3.10.dylib
That, of course, would be different, depending on what version of Python you install.
