The fact that this breaks isn't too surprising, since you are installing selected packages from the edge repository instead of the repository for Alpine 3.13.

In this case your system still has Python 3.8 installed, but the pip package that you installed is installed to /usr/lib/python3.9 instead, which is why Python 3.8 can't find it.

Not a robox issue.

Ah... thank you for spotting my mistake! I'll close this.
