Do you mean 3.6 for the Python that my machine has been using? I can't
recall when I installed the distro offhand, but it has just gone out of
active support. It is Mint xfce. I assume the synaptic version of Python
found would have been kept up, hence the 3.7 being present I guess.

Note I'm posting here using a totally different RISC OS machine.

I suspect that I need to install one (at least) of the other Python 3.7
items synaptic list. But since I know zip about Python I have no idea which
one(s)! So - not finding the contextvars module - yt-dlt tries what is
present, then throws the objection to it. Just my guess, though. OTOH I'm
wary of installing many 3.7 things in case that b*88*rs something else that
uses Python!
