$ pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.8/

How to continue from here and completely get rid of the 3.8 above?
What’s the output of:
ls /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/
It’s most likely left over __pycache__
folders you can safely remove.
Where did you set that? Maybe look in ~/.profile
.

There’s no python3.8
dir in /usr/lib…
$ find /usr/lib/ -maxdepth 1 -name python*.*
/usr/lib/python2.7
/usr/lib/python3.9
$ ls /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/
ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/': No such file or directory
But there’s:
$ find ~/. | grep -E "(__pycache__$)"

No, .profile
doesn’t have anything Python related.

$ grep python3.9 ~/.* -s
.bashrc:export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages piper
$ grep python3.8 ~/.* -s
There are no results of mentioning “python3.8” in my config files of my home dir.

Looks like you installed a couple of things through pip
. You should probably update those…

Hm. I was not focusing on pip, since the $PYTHONPATH was referring to the /usr/lib/python3.8
dir and pip to my ~/.local/lib/python3.8
. But your hint may be very helpful. It may be a pip vs pacman conflict.
$ pip install --upgrade pip

Your hint really helped! After the pip install --upgrade pip
and a restart:
$ echo $PYTHONPATH
:/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages
$ python -c "import sys; print(':'.join(x for x in sys.path if x))"
/home/me:/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages:/usr/lib/python39.zip:/usr/lib/python3.9:/usr/lib/python3.9/lib-dynload:/home/me/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages
No more python3.8!
Lesson learned, perhaps if you run into this discrepancy as well, from now on you may want to use an alias like this:
alias up='sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syyu --disable-download-timeout && pip install --upgrade pip'
