Upgrade Python on Almalinux 8?

I am running Python 3.6.8 on AlmaLinux release 8.10 (Cerulean Leopard).  With cPanel 126.0.14.  I have a machine learning app that needs Python 3.9.11.  Can this be updated?  Is it possible?  Problematic?  What implications are there?  Is it straight forward or a risky change?

  Hey there!  Checking a default AlmaLinux 8 machine there are Python 3.9 packages available from the OS repos.  If you run:

  yum search python39

  you should see those available for your system.

  cPanel itself doesn't care, but it still may be a good idea to try this on a test machine first to ensure things work well will all applications.
