Hi @monish06 @StefanSchnell @kirankumar.mahanthi1 ,

In my previous testing, it was found that UiPath’s Invoke Python activity does not need a locally installed python executor. It can run the python.exe located in any shared drive or even a pendrive.

See this thread for the suggested solution : [How to run python script in UiPath without installing python? - Help - UiPath Community Forum](https://forum.uipath.com/t/how-to-run-python-script-in-uipath-without-installing-python/271827/4)

@monish06 's case  
I suggest one of the below approaches (I have not tested this myself with 10 executions at the same time from a single executor, but both should theoretically work)

1. You install python in one of your VM and ensure that other 9 VMs can access the python folder
2. You install python in a shared drive where all your 10 VMs can access a python.exe executor (all VMs in the same network/VLAN.

The advantage is that all the python dependencies need to be installed only once.

Do let us know how it went when you test this out. Good luck!
