'How can I run Python 3.9.1 natively on M1 Mac?
Seems to be impossible currently with Anaconda as well as with Xcode 12. Via idle, it runs via Rosetta. There seems to be no discussion of this so either I'm quite naive or maybe this will be useful to others as well.
Python says: "As of 3.9.1, Python now fully supports building and running on macOS 11.0 (Big Sur) and on Apple Silicon Macs (based on the ARM64 architecture). A new universal build variant, universal2, is now available to natively support both ARM64 and Intel 64 in one set of executables" https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.9.html
Please help a newbie figure out how to take advantage of his recent impulse-buy.

You can now install python 3.9.1 through multiple pathways now but the most comprehensive build environment for the full data-science suite for python at the moment (Feb 2021) on M1 ARM architecture is via miniforge.
e.g.
brew install --cask miniforge
conda init zsh
conda activate
conda install numpy scipy scikit-learn

You can now install Python 3.9.4 natively on Mac M1 (Apple Silicon). I'm using pyenv to install Python 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9 all native ARM. For example, to install 3.9.4:
$ pyenv install 3.9.4
python-build: use [email protected] from homebrew
python-build: use readline from homebrew
Downloading Python-3.9.4.tar.xz...
-> https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.9.4/Python-3.9.4.tar.xz
Installing Python-3.9.4...
python-build: use readline from homebrew
python-build: use zlib from xcode sdk
Installed Python-3.9.4 to /Users/squademy/.pyenv/versions/3.9.4

I am using python3.9.4. I installed it using homebrew only.
brew install [email protected]
Solution 4:[4]
I upgraded to 3.9.4
- Download the Python universal installer - https://www.python.org/downloads/mac-osx/
Note: I still could not get sudo pip install mysqlclient to install.
I had add to
- update homebrew - See https://brew.sh
- Add /opt/homebrew/bin to PATH in .bash_profile (don't forget to source .bash_profile) or Add /opt/homebrew/bin to PATH in .zprofile (don't forget to source .zprofile) if using zsh
