[Build] Bootstraph.sh fails with pip building PyYAML

Build issue(s)

Trying to build master (15866ed)

Clone, git submodules and run source scripts/bootstrap.sh

Get the error:

Platform

darwin

Anything else?

Running macOS 14.4 with current Xcode
This is the first time I try to setup matter for macOS, but used esp-matter before.
I've deleted ./environment before

Trying on other systems gave some insight - on a similar Mac but without Python 3.12 from Homebrew, bootstrap succeeded.

Going back to my system, I was able to complete the bootstrap by temporarily disabling Homebrew (skipping opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv). After bootstrap succeeded, compiling the all-clusters example worked eve with Homebrew enabled again.

Please test if you can bootstrap with Python3 from up-to-date Homebrew. I'm happy to dig out more details about my system if this doesn't happen on other systems.

I ran into the same problem and can confirm that not using homebrew pip/python works. Using M2.

This patch does it, I'll open a PR:
