Recently within the last month I have been seeing M1 computers with a pop-up at login that states 

"The “python3” command requires the command line developer tools. Would you like to install?"

As far as I can tell, nothing else is running on these computers that installs or requires python. Even examining the python process shows munki as the only user of python. Installing the latest 5.5 munki package does not fix the issue.

Is there something I can to do fix this other than downloading the 1.2 GB of CLDT's?

Munki embeds its own python. Do you have any preflight scripts or any other configurations that might be trying to trigger python?

Yes: figure out what's running at login that's calling /usr/bin/python3.

Munki is not doing this. Munki doesn't run at user login, and doesn't call /usr/bin/python3 -- it calls its own Python at /usr/local/munki/munki-python.
