Python 3.7.1 is still in maintenance version.
It is only available for download to Windows and macOS users. Once the stable version is released, then it is made available in Linux repositories.
For Windows and Mac users visit this python.org URL.
For Linux users: you can download the 3.7.0 version from the terminal
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install python3.7

python3 -V
? They should show that you already have Python 3.6.6 installed in 18.04.
