Please use python activities inside python scope - > **[Python Scope](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/docs/python-scope)** > > UiPath.Python.Activities.PythonScope A container which provides a scope for Python activities and initializes the specified Python environment. When the Python Scope activity ends, all Python objects loaded up to that point are deleted. Properties... And update the below property value to run your python scripts - - **Path** - The path to the Python environment installation folder. This field supports only strings and String variables.
