Python 3.8.7 is not yet fully supported on macOS 11 Big Sur. It will install on macOS 11 Big Sur and will run on Apple Silicon Macs using Rosetta 2 translation. But a few features do not work correctly, most noticeably those involving searching for system libraries such as
\f2 ctypes.util.find_library()
\f0 and in
\f2 Distutils
\f0 . Python 3.9.1 or later provides full support for Big Sur and Apple Silicon Macs, including building natively on Apple Silicon Macs and support for
\f2 universal2
\f0 binaries\

\f0 module. A sample command script is included in
\f3 /Applications/Python 3.8
\f2 /Applications/Python 3.8
\f0 to install a curated bundle of default root certificates from the third-party
\f3 certifi
\f2 certifi
\f0 package ({\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "https://pypi.org/project/certifi/"}}{\fldrslt https://pypi.org/project/certifi/}}). Double-click on
\f3 Install Certificates
\f2 Install Certificates
\f0 to run it.\

The bundled
\f3 pip
\f2 pip
\f0 has its own default certificate store for verifying download connections.\
