Can't install Python package on Alpine Docker anymore

I have a problem that started very recently. The Docker Alpine Python library is not installable any more:

apk update && apk upgrade && apk add python
fetch https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.14/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz
fetch https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.14/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz
v3.14.2-119-g9c4e1aa60c [https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.14/main]
v3.14.2-120-g90167408c8 [https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.14/community]

You are trying to use the python (alias) library instead of python3.

Try to use apk update && apk upgrade && apk add python3 instead.
