Unable to install Python build with shared library using pyenv on MacOS 11.1

I am running into an error when using trying to install Python 3.8.6 with a shared library enabled. I am using PyEnv 1.2.23 on an M1 Macbook Pro.

In particular, running:

$ env PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-shared" pyenv install 3.8.6

returns the error message:

python-build: use [email protected] from homebrew
python-build: use readline from homebrew

I've also tried:

$ arch -x86_64 env PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-shared" pyenv install 3.8.6

and I get the same output.

I have also tried this:

$ brew install zlib
$ export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/zlib/lib"
$ export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/zlib/include

and alas, no avail.

any ideas? thanks~

M1 support wasn't added to Python until 3.9.1. You'll need to upgrade.
