@miro.vasil and @Rashmihasija made great points! Now, here’s a tip for those of you using virtual environments in your task scheduler python workflows."*
If you’re working with a Python virtual environment, it’s crucial to use the environment’s Python executable for the task. This ensures the script runs with the correct dependencies.
- Activate your virtual environment with:
path\to\venv\Scripts\activate
- In Task Scheduler, set the Action to the virtual environment’s Python executable, followed by your script path. For example:
C:\path\to\venv\Scripts\python.exe "E:\My script.py"
This method ensures Task Scheduler uses the dependencies you’ve configured in the virtual environment. It’s perfect for complex projects where dependency management is key.
By combining these approaches—direct execution, batch files, or virtual environments—you’ll master task scheduler python setups effortlessly.
