Environment
- MacOS Monterey 12.0, M1 Apple silicon
- Python 3.7.9, 3.8.6, 3.9.1, 3.9.7, 3.10.0
- pyenv 2.2.0
- Homebrew 3.3.1
Problem
I got new M1 Macbook Pro 14 inch, a device should be with literally the coolest spec in my life. However, it’s not necessarily smooth work to setup environment.
When I tried to install python 3.9.7 or 3.8.6 via pyenv.

Solution (workaround)
It seems because CPython in pyenv supports i386-based chip formerly and only few versions in python installable in pyenv are compatible with M1 Apple silicon with arm64.
In the past discussion in Python build fails on M1 Apple Silicon with arm64 homebrew, python 3.7.9 and 3.9.1 worked.
Also, python 3.10.0 works as well.

When I could not switch the python interpreter even if pyenv rehash works, I added --path parameter to pyenv init in .bash_profile
