I'm trying to use the appimage of PythonSCAD-2025-05-21 on OpenSUSE
Tumbleweed.
However, when I start the program it reports Python Not Found.
Running PythonSCAD from a terminal gives the following:

Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Python path configuration:
  PYTHONHOME = (not set)
  PYTHONPATH =
'/home/dylan/.local/share/OpenSCAD/libraries/home/dylan/bin:.'
  program name = 'openscad-python'
  isolated = 0
  environment = 1
  user site = 1
  safe_path = 0
  import site = 1
  is in build tree = 0
  stdlib dir = '/usr/lib/python3.13'
  sys.path[0] = (not set)
  sys._base_executable = '/tmp/.mount_Pythond1T1k7/usr/bin/openscad-python'
  sys.base_prefix = '/usr'
  sys.base_exec_prefix = '/usr'
  sys.platlibdir = 'lib'
  sys.executable = '/tmp/.mount_Pythond1T1k7/usr/bin/openscad-python'
  sys.prefix = '/usr'
  sys.exec_prefix = '/usr'
  sys.path = [
    '/home/dylan/.local/share/OpenSCAD/libraries/home/dylan/bin',
    '/home/dylan/bin',
    '/usr/lib/python313.zip',
    '/usr/lib/python3.13',
    '/usr/lib/python3.13/lib-dynload',
  ]

The path referenced in PYTHONPATH does not exist.
Python is definitely installed correctly (all other software which
depends on it is functioning correctly and python scripts execute
correctly from the terminal.)
I have searched in the wiki and website, but can find no information
beyont making sure python is installed correctly (which it is.)
How can I tell PythonSCAD where to find the installed python?

Thanks
Dylan

I have no idea if relevant to you, but in windows, it is/was quite
specific wrt python version. https://pythonscad.org/download.php

That page also notes for the Linux appimage:

>Linux AppImage: Python 3.12.0

Possible to install that version?
