Hello SyntaxError, it looks to me like you forgot to install `python` on your MacBook Air. Here are some generic instructions for installing Python on Mac: [5. Using Python on a Mac — Python 3.10.5 documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/using/mac.html)

Alternatively, it is possible that VSCode is looking for the `python` binary in the wrong place. Here are the instructions for running Python in VSCode: [Get Started Tutorial for Python in Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/python-tutorial)
