it looks like “PyObjC” is missing for the Python executable at `/usr/bin/python`. You can check this via the following steps:

1. Open Terminal
2. Enter the following text:

    /usr/bin/python

3. Enter the following text:

    import Foundation

The last step should fail according to your description. Did you by any chance install a custom version of Python and link it to /usr/bin?

If this is the case, then installing `PyObjC` for this custom — non Apple — version of Python should fix your issue. The usual command for this process is something like `pip install PyObjC`.
