How to resolve "bad interpreter: Permission denied" with #! /usr/bin/python3 – CentOS

I’m trying to use the '#! /usr/bin/python3' on a centos7 but since I had to
install Python3 via:

Yum install centos-release-scl
Yum install rh-python36
scl enable rh-python36 bash

The Python3 isn’t in the /usr/bin/python3

I tried using:
#! /opt/rh/rh-python36

I get these errors when trying to run a python script

bash: ./pw.py: /opt/rh/rh-python36: bad interpreter: Permission denied
./pw.py: /opt/rh/rh-python36: bad interpreter: Permission denied

    This means your folder permissions are not allowing you to use that interpreter. Please verify that /opt/rh/rh-python36 has it’s permissions set so that you can read and execute there, otherwise it will give you a permission denied error.

    sudo chmod -R 755 /opt/rh/rh-python36/

    Easy, but not elegant fix: Try downloading a local user version of Python and reference that local Python3 file #! /local/path/python3.
