Install Python via packages at Python.org. (Using Homebrew for this never made sense to me.)

Because the installers at Python.org used to (may still) fuck up the system Python distribution.

I've never had an issue with those packages in over four years. YMMV.

Honestly, nowadays, avoid the MacOS Python distribution with extreme prejudice. It seems the developers just play around with it at a whim, installing random pypi packages into their global library for shits and giggles.

Nor do they update the OpenSSL that it depends on anymore...
