Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

Verify Python Installation: Ensure that Python is installed correctly on your machine, and the path provided in the Python scope activity is pointing to the correct Python executable file (e.g., python.exe). You can verify the Python installation by opening a command prompt and typing python --version.

Check Python Environment Variables: Make sure that the directory containing the Python executable is included in the system PATH environment variable. This allows UiPath to locate the Python interpreter. You may need to add the Python installation directory to the PATH manually if it’s not already included.

Restart UiPath Studio: Sometimes, simply restarting UiPath Studio can resolve initialization errors, especially if there were recent changes to the Python installation or environment variables.

Permissions: Ensure that the user running UiPath Studio has sufficient permissions to access the Python installation directory and execute Python scripts.

Path Length Limitation: Check if the path to the Python executable or script file is too long. There might be limitations on path length that could cause initialization errors. Try moving your Python files to a directory with a shorter path.

Antivirus/Firewall Interference: Sometimes, antivirus software or firewall settings can interfere with the execution of Python scripts. Temporarily disabling antivirus/firewall software (if safe to do so) or adding exceptions for Python-related files may help resolve the issue.

UiPath and Python Compatibility: Ensure that the versions of UiPath Studio and Python you are using are compatible with each other. Sometimes, using mismatched versions can lead to initialization errors.

Check Error Messages: Review any error messages or logs provided by UiPath Studio to get more insights into the specific nature of the initialization error. This can help identify the root cause more accurately.

By going through these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to resolve the initialization error in the Python scope activity in UiPath. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to UiPath support or consulting the UiPath community forums for further assistance.

  1. Check Python Installation:
  • Confirm Python is installed.
  • Verify compatibility with UiPath.
  1. Check Path Variable:
  • Ensure Python executable is in the system PATH.
  • Test recognition with python --version in command prompt.
  1. UiPath Studio Settings:
  • Confirm “Python Activities” package is installed and up-to-date.
  1. Configure Python Scope:
  • Check Python path in Python scope activity.
  • For virtual environments, use the correct Python executable.
  1. Check Python Code:
  • Verify code has no syntax errors.
  • Use print statements for debugging.
  1. Permissions:
  • Ensure UiPath has required permissions.
  1. Confirm that the Python installation path is correct. It should look something like C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39 without the python.exe at the end.
  2. Confirm the version of Python installed matches the version specified in the Python Scope. You can check your Python version by opening a command prompt and typing python --version.
  3. Check if Python is added to your system’s PATH environment variable.
  4. Run a simple Python script outside of UiPath to make sure Python is working correctly.
  5. In UiPath, try setting the “Version” to “Auto” and leaving the “Library path” blank.
  6. Ensure that the Python Scope properties are not surrounded by quotes.

Is .net 5.0 installed?

It is needed for latest python activities

Cheers

Hi @prem.pratik

Could you please share:

  • UiPath Python package version
  • Python version itself
  • the error
  • the paths that you provided in the activity properties
