I think that the suggestions offered so far (environments, etc.) are

very good, but another approach is to use the Anaconda distribution of
Python:
https://www.anaconda.com/
I use this distribution precisely to avoid any mixups with the Python
files that come with the OS distribution. Note that the use of the
Anaconda version of Python doesn't preclude the use of pip, Python
environments, etc.
Another advantage is that Anaconda provides consistency across multiple
linux distros, macOS, and Windows.
