Sorry for the confusion but thanks for the help. I have Python 3.8.5 as output from python -V

Also:

(base) tgarrett at tims-mbp ~ % which python3
/Users/tgarrett/opt/anaconda3/bin/python3
(base) tgarrett at tims-mbp ~ % python3
Python 3.8.5 (default, Sep  4 2020, 02:22:02)
[Clang 10.0.0 ] :: Anaconda, Inc. on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
(base) tgarrett at tims-mbp ~ % echo $PATH
/Users/tgarrett/opt/anaconda3/bin:/Users/tgarrett/opt/anaconda3/condabin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/TeX/texbin
