Hi @Ramki81,

Apologies if the reply seemed silly. The question doesn’t provide enough information and one can fairly assume that you haven’t used the Python Scope.  
Refer this below solution and check if it works:

Never been more proud of a simple answer… When specifying the path of your Python installation (in the “Python Scope” activity), make sure to use double backslashes to escape the first one. So instead of: “C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36” you actually need to do… “C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36”
