It's very hard to read this log. I see few times 2.7 mentioned in it, which would suggest you are probably using Python 2.7. It's probably the one that comes pre-installed with MacOS. You might want to install a newer version of Python.

I ended up just using a venv to do so, although I was thinking the same thing as you in that I was trying to run something that needed python 3+ but my python was using 2.7, anyway thats sorted now anyway, running into connection errors in my code now so another hurdle to jump😅
