there was a typing mistake in the code of the previous variant.
The new version should be right (I hope)
You should see something like
$ /usr/sbin/alternatives --list
2to3auto/usr/bin/2to3-3.9
automake-docauto/usr/share/info/automake1.9.info.gz
gnuplot auto/usr/bin/gnuplot-X11.exe
pip3auto/usr/bin/pip3.9
pydoc3 auto/usr/bin/pydoc3.9
python auto/usr/bin/python3.9
python3 auto/usr/bin/python3.9
python3-config auto/usr/bin/python3.9-config
sphinx-apidoc auto/usr/bin/sphinx-apidoc-3.9
sphinx-autogen auto/usr/bin/sphinx-autogen-3.9
sphinx-buildauto/usr/bin/sphinx-build-3.9
sphinx-quickstart auto/usr/bin/sphinx-quickstart-3.9
with more variant if other python's are installed
$ /usr/sbin/alternatives --display pip3
pip3 - status is auto.
link currently points to /usr/bin/pip3.9
/usr/bin/pip3.9 - priority 39
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/pip3.9.
