This works well with apt installed versions of python, but when you bump to 21.10, unless you add the deadsnakes ppa you can't get older versions. I don't understand it yet, but this doesn't work with pyenv. I wish it did though. It's likely because they maintain a bunch of distros of python and python3.9 could mean different things if you have pypy, anaconda, and core installed. I have no idea why they didn't go this route for sure.
