I do use yt-dlp occasionally, but it's the Win32 pre-compiled version, 
so I kept quiet initially hoping that someone else would be able to give 
you some worthwhile help, but, as the problem doesn't seem to going 
anywhere, I'll see what I can do ...

Might as well be sure, so what happens when you type:
	python --version

If that comes up with 3.7 as desired, what do you get for:
	pip --help

On Ubuntu 18 I get:  Command 'pip' not found, but can be installed with:
	sudo apt install python-pip

Once pip is installed, try:
	pip install contextvars
