PX4-Autopilot: build on macos14.3 error, and which python3 we should use?

Describe the bug

when I use MacOS Development Environment, after：

git clone https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot.git --recursive
cd PX4-Autopilot/Tools/setup
sh macos.sh

output is :

➜  PX4-Autopilot git:(9687324778) sh Tools/setup/macos.sh                
px4-dev already installed
Installing PX4 Python3 dependencies
error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try brew install
    xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
    install.
    
    If you wish to install a non-brew-packaged Python package,
    create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
    Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip.
    
    If you wish to install a non-brew packaged Python application,
    it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
    virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.

note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.

the error fix by

brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies QT

I just want to thank you for sharing:

brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies QT

That totally fixed my PX4 gazebo-classic QT build errors on MacOS 13.6.1 Ventura…

Now,

make px4_sitl gazebo-classic

works like a champ.

what is this?

But make px4_sitl gazebo still failed.
