Unable to install sqlite node-red node

Hi, I am trying to install sqlite node on node red and am unable to do so.
It seems the compiled library for sqlite isnt available and so the installation process tries to compile the same but it fails with an error “/bin/sh python not found”. How do I tell node-red to find python which is already installed on my machine.
OS : Debian , Node red add on verison : 9.0.0
I have included the required system_packages of node-red config:

credential_secret: '!secret nodered_credential'
theme: default
http_node:
  username: admin
  password: '!secret nodered_http'
http_static:
  username: admin_s
  password: '!secret nodered_http_s'
ssl: true
certfile: fullchain.pem
keyfile: privkey.pem
require_ssl: true
system_packages:
  - make
  - g++
  - linux-headers
npm_packages: []
init_commands: []
dark_mode: false
contextStorage:
  default:
    module: memory
  storeInFile:
    module: localfilesystem
log_level: info

Error logs:
