Did you try running 'pkg install python3'? /usr/bin/python is clearly
Microsoft's modification while building the image, I can't help
with that, unfortunately. But I ran into missing python3 issue
few days ago and solved it by installing python3 package. It's
jsut a meta package that creates symlinks with only a major version in
the name:


% pkg list python3
/usr/local/bin/2to3-3
/usr/local/bin/idle3
/usr/local/bin/pydoc3
/usr/local/bin/python3
/usr/local/bin/python3-config
/usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/python3.pc
