tree-edit-install-grammars-wizard fails with Spacemacs and Emacs 29.1

Trying to install the grammars on Spacemacs and GNU Emacs 29.1 (build 1, aarch64-apple-darwin22.6.0, Carbon Version 169 AppKit 2299.7)
of 2023-10-02 (emacs-mac) on macOS.
This is the error backtrace:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp python)
expand-file-name(python "/var/folders/h3/z04wl7k51xq60dm13cx9_g940000gn/T/t...")
tree-edit-install-language-grammar(python)
tree-edit-install-grammars-wizard(t t)
Is there a way to install the grammars manually?
Hey there, thanks for checking out the project! I'm having trouble reproducing this unfortunately but I think I have a hunch...
What's the value of treesit-language-source-alist in your Emacs? It looks like the error is originating from this line:
Lines 286 to 288 in b028c02
My guess is you have it set with a
python key that has the source-dir set to 'python? Could be off base though.
Unfortunately you need to install the grammars via tree-edit so it can generate some special files used for structural editing -- happy to help though, let me know if resetting treesit-language-source-alist works!
Thanks for responding!
I've never set it myself, the variable is nil and only after I run tree-edit-install-grammars-wizard, I get this error. And then the value of the variable is as follows:
Its value is (#1=(python . #1#))
After trying to set it as the example here, tree-edit-install-grammars-wizard inserts the same value to the front of the list and fails the same way. If I try to install it normally with treesit-install-language-grammar, this value doesn't get inserted to the list. So something in the code of the wizard is modifying the treesit-language-source-alist and then it's unhappy with the modification.
Hope that gives some more info.
