What did you do?
easy to reproduce using this MVE:
https://github.com/Mizux/bazel-pybind11-protobuf (branch mizux/dev)
git clone --depth 1 -b dev https://github.com/Mizux/bazel-pybind11-protobuf
cd bazel-pybind11-protobuf
bazel build //bp11/foo/python:all
What did you expect to see Build pass
What did you see instead?

Make sure you include information that can help us debug (full error message, exception listing, stack trace, logs).
Anything else we should know about your project / environment
perfectly working using Protobuf v32.0 (see main branch).
perfectly working using Protobuf v33.0 and CMake based build (see
devbranch).https://github.com/Mizux/bazel-proto (no python) Perfectly work against v33.0 on both build Systems...
Spotted some traces of system_python in rules_python 1.7.0 changelog....... which is not released yet !
