Description

# 🐞 bug report

### Affected Rule

`rules_python/tools/wheelmaker`

### Is this a regression?

We did not encounter this in 1.4.2: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/actions/runs/17471667264/job/49621377398

### Description

I upgraded protobuf's rules_python version to 1.6 from 1.4.2. I'm now running into an issue when trying to mirror module.bazel deltas to WORKSPACE.

It looks like rules_python is having difficulty locating python3 for localtoolchains after updating to 1.6.
