MacOS: Sublime doesnt come up after I removed system python

#1

Hello. I am Struggling !!.. Can someone please help?

My sublime used to work absolutely fine and for some reason I have to uninstall my MacOS builtin system python. I have reinstalled python (through brew) now and it works now. But sublime does not come up now.

When I try to launch it says “Sublime Text 2 cannot be opened because of a problem.”

I have read somewhere that I need to create a python symlink? Where actually ? Any clues would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Here is error:
Sublime Text 2 cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Sublime Text 2 works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X.

Why would you uninstall the system one?? It’s called the system one because the system uses it.
You’ll need to build a python framework and symlink it here: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework. Or, better idea, recover that folder from your time machine backup.
Good luck.
