  i'm glad that worked out, because my Debian Testing
system Python3 is working as expected so i would have
suggested clearing all local caches and any modules
you've installed.

  and if you are making such changes in the future it
really helps to isolate your working and local system
from the base Debian packages by using an environment.
that way you can wipe it and go back to base system
modules quickly if there are issues.
