Bazel Build failing for latest develop on my local machine

[yash10019coder]

When I try to build the app using bazel using command
bazel build //:oppia

I get this error

`ubuntu@ubuntu-linux:~/opensource/oppia-android$ bazel build //:oppia

My develop branch is up to date and merged with latest develop.

python3 was installed and bazel was searching for python
so I installed python-is-python3 package
sudo apt install python-is-python3

which fixes my problem.

FWIW, this should be fixed once we can upgrade to Bazel 5.0 since it properly supports Python 3.
