Hi... A C(omputer)C(opy) was sent to that help@python address for
informational purposes. If it bounces, that's cool, but I'll be
checking that out, too. Appreciate the lead there. :)
So.... I get this while attempting your path above:
++++ BEGIN TEST +++
$ python3
Python 3.8.5 (default, Jul 20 2020, 18:32:44)
[GCC 9.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print
<built-in function print>
++++ END TEST ++++
Mine's Python 3.8.5 on Bullseye.. I STARTED TO ASK: Did you run
something similar to "apt-get update" before reinstalling?
But in addition to that: Did you also try
installing/reinstalling/upgrading Python3.8? It took a few seconds of
nosing around to figure out that's where *my* "Python 3.8.5" came from
(and NOT from e.g. Python3 nor Python):
++++ BEGIN APT-CACHE POLICY ++++
$ apt-cache policy python3.8
python3.8:
Installed: 3.8.5-1
Candidate: 3.8.5-1
Version table:
*** 3.8.5-1 500
500 http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
++++ END APT-CACHE POLICY ++++
N.B. as an aside: There's a Debian-Python list out there:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/
Debian-Python's description is:
"Discussion of issues related to Python on Debian systems with a
stress on packaging standards. Therefore relevant for maintainers of
Python related packages."
It's for Developer types who are either creating or maintaining
Debian's Python-based packages. They're VERY helpful when inquiries
contain all the pertinent details necessary to work through issues.

PS #ThankYou! You just helped me a little, too. I'm messing around
with something that's having GTK issues... and there is... a list for
that, too! Score!
