[Sugar-devel] Unable to set up the Music Blocks repository

[Srevin Saju]

Depending on the operating system you use, are you sure you are able to 
run `python` from your terminal? Not `python3` or `python2`. If 
possible, send the output of

$ which python

The default Ubuntu 20.04 packages for python3, does not include a 
`python` binary iirc. So this is quite important step. Setting aliases 
won't help. On Ubuntu 20.04+, looking at this 
https://askubuntu.com/questions/320996/how-to-make-python-program-command-execute-python-3 
post, this should solve the problem

|sudo apt install python-is-python3|
