[BUG] ESP32-based boards firmware installation fails

[MaxRondelli]

Describe the bug Hi there,

I am trying to set up and flash the firmware ESP32-based boards on my M5Stack Core device. I am following the documentation but I get stuck once I run this command:

make submodules & make all

I am following completely your guide and so far everything worked well.

Additional context This is my stack trace of the error.

python2 seems be the problem but I don't know which can be the solution.

Thank you for your time.
