The blocks in the code below are falling against gravity. They are moving from the bottom of the screen to the top when I run this code. I have tried to adjust the Gravity function but it's still moving from bottom to top which is opposite gravity. The code is however running well when I tested with another Laptop. I currently learning pygame.

body = pymunk.Body(mass, inertia)
body.position = x, y
shape = pymunk.Circle(body, radius, (0,0))
space.add(body, shape)

The problem is most likely a change that was made between pymunk 5.7 and 6.0. In the old version pymunk treated the direction of y opposite to how pygame does it when drawing a space with pymunk_utils. To simplify things this was changed, so that both Pymunk and Pygame do the same thing.
To get the old behavior back you can set positive_y_is_up in pygame_util to True: pymunk.pygame_util.positive_y_is_up = True. However, if you dont have a lot of old code I suggest instead to modify the positions and gravity. This will make it simpler to reason about if you need to draw anything using pygame directly. (To convert you do converted_y_value = surface.get_height() - old_y_value)
Converted your code would then look like:
