I installed Sonoma and installed asdf then tried to install python3.7.15.

Set path for zlib .zshrc (if you use bash => .bashrc)

export CPPFLAGS="-I/Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include -I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L/Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/lib -L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib"

Then I got the following error.

asdf install python 3.7.15

The solution for the error was the following command

SDKROOT=/Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=14.0 asdf install python 3.7.15

In this article, I installed python3.7.15 if you get errors that are related to zlib and _scoket error, you can use the command and .zshrc settings.
I think if you try to install 3.11.x and 3.10.x, you wonā€™t face these types of issues since I could install them without any issues.
