Anyone having issues installing python 3.8.10 on macOS Monterey M1 Mac? Any version I try to install using pyenv install gives me this error:

I've tried almost all questions across Google Search without success =(. I've tried to install using asdf python plugin and pyenv.

This worked for me.

Install gcc first;

brew install gcc

And then with gcc run pyenv installation.

CC=/opt/homebrew/bin/gcc-11 pyenv install 3.8.10

I faced the same issue and the solution that worked for me was to install the version manually, here are the steps I performed to get it done:

1. Download the python-3.8.10 version here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3810/
2. Once downloaded, double-click to install through the installation wizard.
3. Once completed, from finder or terminal open the directory where it got installed: /Applications/Python 3.8
4. Run the Install Certificates.command, wait until it completes.
5. In the same path, run Update Shell Profile.command
6. You are all set, to validate it run from the terminal: python3 --version

To setup a virtual environment for python version 3.8.10 installed manually:

1. pip install --upgrade pip
2. pip install virtualenv
3. cd my_project_folder/
4. virtualenv venv
5. source venv/bin/activate
6. To deactivate once finish working, run: deactivate
