(novice question) newly installed python 3.12 is overshadowed

I have a working python version - python3 --versiongave Python 3.9.6. Then I used homebrew to install python 3.12. It is located in /opt/homebrew/bin according to the homebrew installer. If I run whereis pythonI get usr/bin/python3and /opt/homebrew/share/man/man1/python3.1 instead. Should I just delete the python binary in /usr/bin/Pythonor is there a better way? In the cloned git repo I will be working with I need to install a virtual environment with venv. Can there be any conflicts if I use the python version in the homebrew directory and delete the binary in /usr/bin? Many thanks!
