(2022 update) The patch isn't enough, as explained later in the thread. Instead:

  1. Save the updated patch locally.

  2. Run the following 2 commands:

brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies --force openssl

brew reinstall zlib

  1. Replace Python-3.4.3-macos.patch with the path to your saved patch, and run:
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/zlib/include -I$(brew --prefix readline)/include" LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix readline)/lib
-L/usr/local/opt/zlib/lib" pyenv install 3.4.3 --patch < Python-3.4.3-macos.patch

I found a solution to the above problem. It can be done using pyenv manager installed using brew instead of using default pkg installer.

You might face few errors in that too like: implicit declaration of function 'getentropy' is invalid in C99

Those errors can be avoided by using a patch. Patch link

Following this entire link should help you in getting Python 3.4.x running in BigSur.
