I assume you typed "python".
And I assume that it is because you have python 2.7.17 installed and its on
your PATH.
To run python 3.9.1 do this in cmd.exe
py -3.9
It is also likely that just typing "py" will run python 3.9.1.
Typing "py -2" will run python 2.
Run this to find all the versions of python that you have available:
py -0
