Description
Could not find platform independent libraries
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to [:]
Python path configuration:
PYTHONHOME = (not set)
PYTHONPATH = (not set)
program name = 'python'
isolated = 0
environment = 1
user site = 1
import site = 1
sys._base_executable = '/usr/bin/python'
sys.base_prefix = '/usr'
sys.base_exec_prefix = '/usr'
sys.platlibdir = 'lib'
sys.executable = '/usr/bin/python'
sys.prefix = '/usr'
sys.exec_prefix = '/usr'
sys.path = [
'/usr/lib/python310.zip',
'/usr/lib/python3.10',
'/usr/lib/python3.10/lib-dynload',
]
Fatal Python error: init_fs_encoding: failed to get the Python codec of the filesystem encoding

Research direction
Start by examining the reported `/usr/bin/python` configuration and the listed Python 3.10 library paths on Kali Linux. Reproduce the filesystem-encoding failure and determine a verified environment or installation fix; done means Python starts successfully without the missing codec error.
