I’m stuck on Stage #YH3.

I’ve tried submitting or testing through the CLI

```auto
codecrafters submit | test

```

And couldn’t test it out because if fails to build on step 14

```auto
[build] If you don't see logs for 60s+, please contact us at hello@codecrafters.io
[build] Step 1 complete.
[build] Step 2 complete.
[build] Step 3 complete.
[build] Step 4 complete.
[build] Step 5 complete.
[build] Step 6 complete.
[build] Step 7 complete.
[build] Step 8 complete.
[build] Step 9 complete.
[build] Step 10 complete.
[build] Step 11 complete.
[build] Step 10 complete.
[build] Step 12 complete.
[build] Step 13 complete.
[build] Step 14 complete.
[build] Error: failed to calculate checksum of ref v0oay9i9vljk0pfrxkj9avnts::yz96ouwxhdne36wgtugsvwzro: "/usr/bin/python3": not found.
[build] Build failed. Check the logs above for the reason.

```

Even though I used the CLI yesterday with no problem and the log stating that I don’t have Python

```python
[build] Error: failed to calculate checksum of ref v0oay9i9vljk0pfrxkj9avnts::yz96ouwxhdne36wgtugsvwzro: "/usr/bin/python3": not found.

```

but i have it on my machine 🤔

any pointers on that issue?

Thanks!

Hey @digitalesch, could you [upload your code to GitHub](https://docs.codecrafters.io/features/publish-to-github) and share the link? It will be much easier to debug if I can run it directly.

@digitalesch Could you trying deleting the `codecrafters` folder, and please let me if that resolves the issue?
