Installing a font development environment on Apple Silicon

I have a new Apple Silicon Mac and have migrated everything from my old Mac running macOS 10.13. That means that many Python and other command line tools are already installed, but may have been compiled for the wrong CPU type.

Python

I’m pretty sure that just installing the latest Python version will save us some trouble. Download and install Python 3.10.4 from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3104/

Our system-wide Python packages (some of them include compiled libraries), e.g. powerline-status, have not been updated yet, so terminal apps won’t launch properly. Opening our ~.zshrc file and commenting out all lines that concern powerline, rbenv, and nvm/node makes Terminal.app and iTerm launch at least. But Python won’t run at all yet:
