Error: [Errno 26] Text file busy: '/opt/venv/bin/python'

That “Text file busy” error usually means something is trying to overwrite or modify /opt/venv/bin/python while it’s still running. This can happen if you’re updating packages or the Python binary while the app is using it.
Here's how to fix it:
Don’t overwrite or reinstall Python or pip while your app is running.
If you’re doing a build or install step, make sure nothing else is using Python at the same time.
Try restarting the container or VM to clear any locked files.
If you’re running install commands in parallel or in the background, stop that (do installs before starting the app). This error is almost always a file lock from a running process.
