SecureCRT unable to load Python3.8.8

[MiniMe]

Hi guys
I am trying to test Securecrt 9.0.2 on Windows 10 with Python 3.8.8
Everything is x64 but SecureCRT is reporting that it can't load Python 3.8
If I open a command prompt and I type 'python' I get these

C:\Users\minime>python
Python 3.8.8 (tags/v3.8.8:024d805, Feb 19 2021, 13:18:16) [MSC v.1928 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

and this is the script you are recommending

# $language = "Python3"
# $interface = "1.0"

import sys
import platform
crt.Dialog.MessageBox(
    "sys.version_info:\r\n{}\r\n\r\nsys.version:\r\n{}\r\n\r\nsys.hexversion:\r\n{}\r\n\r\nplatform.python_version:\r\n{}".format(
        sys.version_info,
        sys.version,
        sys.hexversion,
        platform.python_version()))

What can I do to further troubleshoot this ?
