The Python programming language 3.9.1 was released a few days ago as the first maintenance release of Python 3.9.
Python 3.9.1 comes with 282 changes since 3.9.0. It is the first version 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. See the changelog for more.
How to Install Python 3.9.1 in Ubuntu:
