Hello All,

I am trying to use Python Scope, but I am not able to execute the scope as it is throwing an error for Initializing Python Engine.  
Provided the Path as well as DLL Path, Target: x64-Bit and the version- Auto (Installed version is 3.12.4 - with this version m able to run the Python Scope correctly on other machine but not on my machine).  
Attaching screenshots for more reference.

@Vinay_Watane

The activity isn’t compatible with 3.12.4. Make sure you are using version \<=3.12

 ![An informational banner describes the Python activity package as open-source, invites collaboration on GitHub, and notes compatibility with Python versions up to 3.12. (Captioned by AI)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/4X/b/c/7/bc7915212aef55235db2531520d4ad2c3de27669.png)

Also make sure your system fulfilling these prerequisits.

Thank you for this @ashokkarale, it’s wrong 😅 The latest Python 1.10.0 package supports up to Python 3.13

As to the issue @Vinay_Watane, could you please share how you configured your file paths for both the Library path and Path properties?

You should configure it similar to this sample:

> **[Activities - Invoking a Python Script](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/developer/invoking-a-python-script)**
>

(in fact, for the standard default Python installation of 3.12, not the one from the windows store, the sample should probably work for you out of the box)

Hi @loginerror Thankyou for acknowledging the issue, attaching the library path and the python path provided in the activity.  
I have tried in another machine with the same settings and same python version, it worked, but it is not in mine.

I believe that for Python package 1.10.0, you still need the .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.x installed, which you can get from here:

> **[Download .NET 8.0 (Linux, macOS, and Windows) | .NET](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0)**
>
> .NET 8.0 downloads for Linux, macOS, and Windows. .NET is a free, cross-platform, open-source developer platform for building many different types of applications.

This one:

 ![The image displays a download page for .NET Desktop Runtime version 8.0.16, offering installation options for x64, x86, Arm64 architectures, along with winget instructions for Windows.

This might be the difference between the devices.
