Errors opening python files

Neovim
1

I have nvim installed with the default configuration of plugins set by lazyvim
When I open a Python file, I get a screen full of error messages:

The error messages Error detected while processing BufReadPost Autocommands for "*":

The files in the error messages point to the `nvim` installation rather than my local plugin installation (by `lazyvim`)

Any idea what is wrong, and how can I fix it?
