How to install Python 3.x on Apple M1

I want to share how to install the old version of python on Apple silicon architecture.

Basically the old python version does not support on installation on M1.

3.9.1 is the first version of Python to support macOS 11 Big Sur. With Xcode 11 and later it is now possible to build “Universal 2” binaries which work on Apple Silicon.

I hope you don’t waste lot of time for installing Python on Apple M1. 😎
