This happens to me all the time as well as at a glance not showing weather. Unfortunately the only fix I know is to clear storage for the Google app. You'll need to reenable ok Google and maybe redo some other configurations after, but now playing should work again, at least for a little while...
Perhaps overkill for your use case, but uv is pretty great. I suppose you could just use it to install a local python and then add it to your path.
