I think you're just in the wrong directory, if you've created ~/python_scripts/contact/ then git clone you'll have a folder: ~/python_scripts/contact/contact and then the __main__.py is in another folder: ~/python_scripts/contact/contact/contact/__main__.py

You don't have to clone the repo unless you are developing it. You can simply:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install contact

Then to run it:
contact

To update:
pip install --upgrade contact
