Python3-3.9.10 installed on this Slackware64-14.2 desktop. Trying to run

There is no python3.7 here:

How do I clean this up?
What is there to clean up? If you have Python 3.9 installed, why are
you fooling around trying to run Python 3.7? It seems you are not
telling us something ...
It's better to always run pip with the version of Python that you intend
to use. If that is launched when you type "python3", then run pip this way:
python3 -m pip
If instead you want to use, say, python3.9, then type this:
python3.9 -m pip
