I am trying to utilize this xblock-sdk and am installing it via Docker as explained in the readme file. However, when I run make docker_build I get the following error:

> [5/6] RUN ln -s /usr/bin/python3.8 /usr/bin/python &&     /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip &&     pip install -r /usr/local/src/xblock-sdk/requirements/dev.txt:
#9 0.695 ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/bin/python': File exists
------
executor failed running [/bin/sh -c ln -s /usr/bin/python3.8 /usr/bin/python &&     /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip &&     pip install -r /usr/local/src/xblock-sdk/requirements/dev.txt]: exit code: 1
ERROR: Service 'xblock_sdk' failed to build
make: *** [docker_build] Error 1

I interpret that error to mean that Python already exists, which seems like a good thing. How do I rectify this issue?
