    I'm trying to build a project for the web, but I'm getting these errors. I don't know how to fix it. Help me
    ```
    Building Library/Bee/artifacts/WebGL/il2cpp/release_WebGL_wasm/w0pr1fsran19.o failed with output:

    Well that is quite odd. Python 3.8 should definitely be new enough. The error seems some kind of internal Python bug, since it is Python's own __init__.py that fails to import its own submodule.

    Searching the error message on the web, I find a hit like this

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions...named-ctypes-when-using-value-from-module-mul

    that suggests

    "Installing libffi-dev and re-installing python3.7 fixed the problem for me."

    I have such a breakdown, perhaps I once damaged the python. I don't know what to do. everything suggests installing Ubuntu

    I fixed it, the system Python was broken, in my opinion it was still a long time ago.

    Was:
    /usr/local/bin/python3.8 -c "import ctypes"
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/ctypes/__init__.py", line 7, in <module>
    from _ctypes import Union, Structure, Array
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_ctypes'

    I did:
    sudo rm /usr/local/bin/python3.8
    sudo ln -s /home/technoninja/.pyenv/shims/python3.8 /usr/local/bin/python3.8

    Be sure to pay attention to pyenv

    Awesome, the Linux systems sometimes need some tough sudo love to work.
