I'm trying to downgrade Python 3.8.2 to Python 3.7.0 on macOS Big Sur by following the Homebrew method specified here.
However, while executing the pyenv install 3.7.0 command I'm facing an unsolvable error as follows:
bash-3.2$ pyenv install 3.7.0
python-build: use openssl@1.1 from homebrew
python-build: use readline from homebrew

Are there any workarounds for this method? Is uninstalling Python 3.8.2 and doing a clean install with Python 3.7.0 recommended?
