Easiest way to find where it is, is to just run the script via python.


import sys
print(sys.executable)

Use that to copy/paste.

Great video, thanks.

A great video BTW, I can only check whether it works or not when I wake up tomorrow, start and connect my computer to internet and see my online class start after waking up from a nap ( yeah it's a bot which automates my meetings on prescribed data [which I fill up every night ])

Hi . When I try to run your code task scheduler works

But when I run my py script which contains 3 lines of code to import pandas then read a csv file and write some rows of this csv to an excel at sone location .

Import pandas as pd
df=

df.to_excel(‘c:\files\op.xlsx’, index=False)


Task scheduler is not running this code . This code is running correctly in Jupiter notebook however not running by task scheduler when used as .py file

Please tell what’s that I’m missing
