I don't have a reason to but python3 on my machine is Python 3.12.7. 
However there is also Python 3.10.12.  

Python3.10 -m venv foo  

should create a 3.10.12 environment. That might be handy for some things. 
Python 3.13 dropped the cgi module. I don't know if CherryPi has caught up 
but on my work Windows machine it broke when I went to 3.13. There is a 
fix with 

pip install legacy-cgi 

but there may have been a way around it with a venv referencing an older 
Python.

It's in the best Python tradition -- we don't need that old stuff any 
more. Can it.
