From that trace, it looks like shims are broken in a way that `pyenv rehash` doesn't detect (it checks all for presence but only the first one for correct contents,...

You'd need to port the 3.6.15 patches that add MacOS 11 support. Try applying them to CPython 3.6.14's source and if they do (which is likely), all you have to...

Need diagnostic info as listed in the [Pyenv issue template](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/blob/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md).

Please provide a debug trace of the faulty invocation for us to be able to say anything. ``` export PYENV_DEBUG=1 export PS4='+(${BASH_SOURCE:-}:${LINENO}): ${FUNCNAME[0]:+${FUNCNAME[0]}(): }' set -x set +x unset PYENV_DEBUG...

If your shell is Zsh, replace `${BASH_SOURCE:-}` with `${BASH_SOURCE:-${(%):-%x}}`.

> Actually, you can't create a virtualenv because `pyenv-virtualenv` tries to install the latest version of [virtualenv](https://pypi.org/project/virtualenv/#history), but at the end of 2021 (before Python 2.7 EOL), the last supported...
