Hey Peeps! I’m facing this issue where I am using an activity “Load Python Script” inside the “Python Scope” activity. But the script is endlessly running and producing no output, or not even terminating after sometime. I have tried downgrading the Python version from 3.12 to 3.8.1 and the issue still persists. Here’s the screenshot for the reference of the activity I am trying to use. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/4X/3/5/4/354c9c98e95fba610c25d7ef155d72f57b5f2773.png) If there’s any solution you can provide it will be helpful. ---

@Charan_Kalyankar, Have you installed .Net runtime 6? It’s prerequisites for Python package activities.

Hey @ashokkarale, The python activity is running fine for normal python files. I tried with a basic hello world function. It ran properly. But when I am trying to run the activity with a code which has a processing logic of excel sheets, it is throwing this error called “ **Pipe is Broken** ”. Here’s the screenshot for the reference. If you could help on this, will be great. Thanks, Charan. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/4X/b/1/1/b119a68e35c5d1eaf5ad4bf1f34da8af4205d036.png) ---

@Charan_Kalyankar, If your python script throws some error, it disconnects Python scope from the script. Try to handle the exception at script level only and you should be fine. Thanks, Ashok 🙂 ---
