Hello Guys.  
I have this simple python code:

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/3X/a/f/afeb4ca5b7cd13847f86b56101a46f7502f9f183.png)

Which takes as input an excel file and saves a new excel file with manipulated data.  
The input is about 50 Rows.

I have installed Python 3.6 32 Bit on my Machine when I try to Execute the code.  
When I try to just print something it works.

But the above Code doesnt work.  
 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/3X/6/7/67033679adb65b460bd9ba749f793d3c12037f98.png)

And this is the configuration:

Is it possible that I return the DF and take it from UIPATH as Datatable?

Thank You Guys

Are you returning any Value in your Python function? Try to return the output and your error should be resolved.

I’ve got same error, and In my python scripts, I import xlwings, so I got this pipe broken error, and I change a method, using **invoke power shell** to run python scripts.
