1) It does not work, most likely because the application is launched from the root of the file system, but it wants to be launched from its own folder. So in the [Service] section, you need to add the WorkingDirectory parameter.
2) Also, there is no shell in systemd units, so you need to specify full paths to executable files, i.e. instead of ExecStart=python3.7, you need to call the whereis python3.7 command in the console, it will show the full path and paste it into ExecStart, i.e. something like ExecStart=/usr/bin/python
