Description
I installed Xbar and github-review-requests but the plugin says "env: python: No such file or directory".
Since I installed python with asdf, the execution path is /Users/me/.asdf/shims/python. I tried to symlink it to usr/bin/python but it doesn't work since MacOS blocks it. I then symlink it to usr/local/bin/python, and changed the plugin header from
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
to
#!/usr/local/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
but it still doesn't work. Did I miss something?
On an extra node, running
python "/Users/me/Library/Application Support/xbar/plugins/001-github-review-requests.5m.py"
on the terminal works.

Research direction
Start with Dev/GitHub/github-review-requests.5m.py and reproduce the failure using the plugin path shown in the issue, then compare it with the terminal invocation that works. Trace how xbar launches the script versus the user's shell environment. Done means the cause of the missing Python executable is confirmed and a working execution or configuration path is documented.
