This post is about installing python 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7 since my previous post only supports python 3.8 and 3.9.
Also, I have gotten some questions on installing python 3.5 and 3.6.
In addition, I really need to install them on my BigSur lol.
If you just need to install python 3.8+, please check the following

I tried to install 3.7.6, 3.7.7, 3.7.8, and 3.7.9, but couldn't install them. Only 3.7.3 worked with the following.
