i installed python37

How, with pip? As root? If so get what pip installed off, and install python with pacman. Or did you install something from the AUR?

and then uninstalled python3

How? What are you installing/uninstalling python with?

The AUR package installs the binary as python3.7 and it needs to be called that way.

But none of this makes much sense at all, please describe exactly what you have done, and why. Why did you remove the regular python package?? The whole idea of python37 in the AUR is to be able to be installed along-side the regular repo python package.

I don't have a clue what i did! But i fixed it buy going into my snapshot , and then re-installing python . And now it works alongside python37. But i can't remove python37 now. I don't know why

Neither do we. Is your keyboard broken? Did you forget the sudo password? Did Freddy Krueger chop off your arms?

Post the actual in- and output of your removal attempts and probably also

pacman -Qikkl python python2 python37 | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io
cat /var/log/pacman.log | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io
