How to make IPython run on the python version 3.9.1 instead of the older version 3.7?

Question

I installed very recently IPython (version 7.19). I installed afterwords python3.9.1 replacing the older version 3.7.1. When I call IPython via the terminal, I always get the indication that IPython is running on the python version 3.7.1.

How to make IPython run on the new version 3.9.1 ?

I tried it. The main answer of that post did not solve the problem. — user249018, Dec 28 '20 at 23:42
This is not a duplicate. None of the answers on the referred did solve the issue. — user249018, Dec 29 '20 at 15:57
Adding this for posterity: If anyone else is using homebrew on macOS, do NOT use `brew install ipython` - it tends to guess what python version to use, and defaults to 3.8 as of Mar 2021 — catalogue_number, Mar 11 '21 at 01:09
