Python 3.6 has been in the security-fix-only phase of its life cycle since 
2018-12 which means that python.org binary installers for Mac or Windows 
platforms have not been produced since then. If at all possible, your user 
should upgrade to a fully-supported version, currently either Python 3.9.1 or 
3.8.7 (https://www.python.org/downloads/). That said, the last python.org macOS 
installers for 3.6, 3.6.8, still work for me on the most recent macOS Sierra 
update (10.12.6) including the "Install Certificates Command".  Make sure the 
user has admin privileges or that "Install Certificates Commnad" is run under a 
user that does have admin privs. If it still fails, you could try downloading 
and re-installing Python 3.6.8 or give more information about exactly what 
error is being seen.  But this sort of problem is really off-topic for this 
issue; better to ask in a help forum.
