Hello,

I am trying to use the Python scope activity, but it seems i am doing something wrong.  
I installed Python 3.6 32 bits at this location : “C:\Users\XX\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Python 3.6”  
And I added the path in the input of Python Scope (Like Below) :

And when I run the script I have le following error : Python Scope : Python exe was not found  
But in my folder I have :

The path you’re using is to the exe’s shortcut. Find the absolute path and use that in the “Path” property.

Hi, what do u mean by absolute path? I also have my Python exe in the following folder: “C:\Users\ajkasic\Documents\UiPath” and I put that exactly in the **Path** field… (it didn’t work… and afterwards I put it this way: C:\Users\ajkasic\Documents\UiPath\python-3.7.0.exe" and it still doesn’t work,…)

Thank you in advance…

Hi,

Try right click on your python.exe and select open file Location, do it as many times until it does not show it to you.

Tell me if it helps
