This worked for me with the same issue.

Check if you have multiple Python3.x versions installed. In my case I had Python3.6 and Python3.9 installed. brew uninstall python3 did not remove Python3.6 completely.

I was able to call Python3.9 from Terminal by explicitly running python3.9 instead of python3, which led me to believe the issue was caused by ambiguity in which Python3.x resource was to be used.

Manually deleted /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6 resulted in Python3 running as expected.
