Resolution

To resolve the issue, follow these steps:

1. Access the vCO Pod:

   Run the following command in VRA:

   kubectl -n prelude exec -it $(kubectl get pod -n prelude -l app=vco-app -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}") -c vco-polyglot-runner -- bash

2. Run Docker Command:

   Execute the Docker command to start a container with the appropriate Python runtime:

   docker run --rm -it --entrypoint /bin/bash --network host vmware/vco-polyglot-python:3.10.11

3. Update Repository URL:

   Modify the repository URL in your environment configuration to point to your third-party repository. 

   https://'ThirdPartyRepoURL'/repository/pypi-common-hosted/simple/ --trusted-host 'ThirdPartyRepoURL' --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/

Note: Ensure that you replace 'ThirdPartyRepoURL' with the actual URL provided by your third-party repository.
