I’m a newbie to Docker and trying to build a simple python docker image; however, I’m running into the below error while trying to build the image.

**=\> ERROR [internal] load metadata for [docker.io/](http://docker.io/) library/ python:3.8-slim 3.4s**  
\*\* =\> [auth] library/python:pull token for [registry-1.docker.io](http://registry-1.docker.io) 0.0s\*\*  
**------**

**------**  
\*\*failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to create LLB definition: failed to authorize: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = failed to fetch oauth token: Get \*\*

Any help is highly appreciated.  
Thank you in advance.
