Bug description:

With the macOS installer for Python 3.13 (here 3.13.3) The symlinks for PythonT are created in /usr/local/bin, but the binaries are not installed (the folder /Library/Frameworks/PythonT.framework does not exist after installing). This happened multiple times.

% ls -l /usr/local/bin | grep PythonT | awk '{print $9 $10 $11}'
python3.13t->../../../Library/Frameworks/PythonT.framework/Versions/3.13/bin/python3.13t
python3.13t-config->../../../Library/Frameworks/PythonT.framework/Versions/3.13/bin/python3.13t-config
python3.13t-intel64->../../../Library/Frameworks/PythonT.framework/Versions/3.13/bin/python3.13t-intel64
python3t->../../../Library/Frameworks/PythonT.framework/Versions/3.13/bin/python3t
python3t-config->../../../Library/Frameworks/PythonT.framework/Versions/3.13/bin/python3t-config
python3t-intel64->../../../Library/Frameworks/PythonT.framework/Versions/3.13/bin/python3t-intel64
% ls -l /Library/Frameworks/PythonT.framework
ls: /Library/Frameworks/PythonT.framework: No such file or directory
