OpenAI Gym - AttributeError: module 'contextlib' has no attribute 'nullcontext'

I'm running into this error when trying to run a command from docker a docker container on google compute engine.

Here's the stacktrace:

Traceback (most recent call last):

You need a specific gym version (==0.15.7) to run contextlib, I also have this error, and resolved by set the specific pytest version to pytest==7.0.1

Traceback (most recent call last):

    tests_require=['pytest-mock', 'pytest-cov', 'pytest==7.1.2', 'mock', 'tomli==1.2.2', 'coverage==6.4']

Degrading the version of gym may also solve this problem. I met this error with python 3.6, too. And I degraded gym's version from 0.21.0 to 0.15.7, then it was fixed.

It seems like this is an issue with python 3.6 and gym. Upgrading my container to python 3.7 fixed the issue.
