I cannot install versions of python 3 that are between 3.8.1 and 3.8.9 (including) in my new Mac.
I tried with pyenv and also with conda.
Pyenv
% pyenv install 3.8.1
python-build: use openssl from homebrew
python-build: use readline from homebrew

I think the problem is related to the new Apple Clang versions > 13.0.0 being incompatible with older python versions. See here https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/issues/2112 .
