title: "brew install python" installs 3.9. Why not 3.10?
body: <p>My understanding is that &quot;brew install python&quot; installs the latest version of python. Why isn't it pulling 3.10? 3.10 is marked as a stable release.</p>
  <p>I can install 3.10 with &quot;brew install python@3.10 just fine and can update my PATH so that python and pip point to the right versions. But I am curious why &quot;brew install python&quot; its not installing 3.10.</p>
  <p>My other understanding is that 3.10 is directly compatible with the M1 chips so that is why I want 3.10.</p>
  <p>Please let me know if I am mistaken.</p>
