Mats has addressed the immediate issue but its important to understand
that your Python system comprises two distinct parts:

1) The Python interpreter and standard library
2) Third party modules usually obtained from PyPI

A new Python release only includes the first item. The second requires
each library provider to update their libraries to the new release.
That can take from a couple of days to a few weeks or even months.

(This is one reason I try to stay one major release behind current,
so I've only recently upgraded to python 3.10  - that way I rarely
have problems with incompatible libraries)
