Help with problems with symbolic package

Hello, I recently installed Octave and I need to use the symbolic 
package.
I downloaded it from the sourceforge of Octave, but I've had some 
problems
when I started using it. I have installed Python 3.9 and the last 
version of
the sympy module.
I load the package with 'pkg load symbolic' and there is no problem (at 
least
it is correctly installed), but when I try to do anything... let´s say 
define
a real variable like 'syms x real' I get some errors. The first one was 
a bit
silly, related to the environment variable for python (it is 'python3' 
default
but in my case is 'python'). I changed it so Octave could start running 
the
package, but then I get some other errors I can't solve:

I really need it to avoid using MatLab at university. I convinced the
teacher to let me use Octave instead of that horrible proprietary
software, but I am unable to use the free program. Please help soon!
(As you will notify, the computer is using Windows, but I can change
that. However, it is and error related to python and not the OS.)

Happy hacking!
