    Sounds like the scripts you have may be written in Python 2, which as others have stated, was pulled in 12.3. You can try running one with a Python 2 or 3 interpreter to see. You could technically deploy your own Python 2 to people and update the shebangs on the scripts to reflect the updated Python binary location. But Python 2 has been deprecated since January 2020 so it's probably best to just update the scripts. I dealt with this myself and am by no means a programmer. We have a critical script that maps printers for people that I had to update. I used something called '2to3' which is I believe an official Python program that does its best to convert Python 2 code to Python 3 in an automated fashion. It did 99% of the work for me. My script was still failing, but it was just a variable that was being concatenated as a byte instead of a string. Once that was fixed it ran fine. And then we started deploying https://github.com/macadmins/python - as others have mentioned. And then just updated the shebang to point to where that Python gets installed as per their instructions.
