Python is installed as
    $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/bin/python3.9

Unversioned and major-versioned symlinks `python`, `python3`, `python-config`, `python3-config`, `pip`, `pip3`, etc. pointing to
`python3.9`, `python3.9-config`, `pip3.9` etc., respectively, are installed into
    $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/[email protected]/libexec/bin

You can install Python packages with
    pip3.9 install <package>
They will install into the site-package directory
    $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/lib/python3.9/site-packages

tkinter is no longer included with this formula, but it is available separately:
    brew install [email protected]

If you do not need a specific version of Python, and always want Homebrew's `python3` in your PATH:
    brew install python3
