SyntaxError: invalid syntax (python)

I'm using Gatsby for my SWA, and attempting to upgrade from Gatsby v4 to v5. As a part of the upgrade, I need to also update NODE to 18. All works well locally, but when attempting deployment via Github action, it fails with PYTHON error. I've tried with different versions of Python. It works fine when using Oryx with NODE 14 AND Gatsby4.
