The official Python 3.9.2 installer is not yet available for Apple Silicon Macs. pyenv is a better approach because it also lets you install and switch between multiple versions.
1brew install pyenv

3# Add pyenv init to your shell to enable shims and autocompletion.
4echo -e 'if command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then\n eval "$(pyenv init -)"\nfi' >> ~/.zshrc
5source ~/.zshrc
