Ok I localized python script config.py in /usr/lib/python2.7/config.pyby command:
python -c "import config; print(config.__file__)"

I removed it and now it works.

Hello,

After some research I realized that this problem comes from a module that I had added in the modules directory of godot. In my case speech to text because I was looking to install this module here: https://samuraisigma.github.io/godot-docs/doc/community/tutorials/misc/speech_to_text.html.

To solve the problem I went to the directory of the module in question (speech to text) and I opened config.py in this source I modified the signature of the can_buil function so that it has 2 arguments. From what I understand it is a compatibility issue between GODOT 3.0 and 3.1.

The full solution is described here: http://128mots.com/index.php/en/2021/02/17/typeerror-can_build-takes-1-positional-argument-but-2-were-given/
