Python is installed as
    $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/bin/python3.8

Unversioned and major-versioned symlinks `python`, `python3`, `python-config`, `python3-config`, `pip`, `pip3`, etc. pointing to
`python3.8`, `python3.8-config`, `pip3.8`, etc., respectively, are installed into
    $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/python@3.8/libexec/bin

You can install Python packages with
    pip3.8 install <package>
They will install into the site-package directory
    $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/lib/python3.8/site-packages

If you do not need a specific version of Python, and always want Homebrew's `python3` in your PATH:
    brew install python3
