The following error is thrown:

A Google search with the query python 3.7 mac m1 yields this article:

I have Rosetta2, Can I use brew x86 to install python 3.7 ?

Answer is YES, start from install brew x86 version aka ibrew

arch -x86_64 /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

Add alias to rc file

alias ibrew="arch -x86_64 /usr/local/bin/brew"

Install python 3.7 on M1 

ibrew install python@3.7

Now you can choose between brew when you want to install ARM app or ibrew when you want to install x86 app. Happy coding
