@<1523701070390366208:profile|CostlyOstrich36> I will try using a full path. hmm, any reason i'm not running in docker mode.... I suppose because I'm new to the platform and don't know how yet? Do you recommend that I make the switch?

Hi @<1618780810947596288:profile|ExuberantLion50> , what happens if you set the python binary path itself? Also, any specific reason you're not running in docker mode?

as a followup on this one @<1523701070390366208:profile|CostlyOstrich36> .
how do I make my agent install python 3.9 and not 3.7?

agent.default_python: 3.9
agent.python_binary: 3.9

but getting in the task:

Python executable with version '3.9' requested by the Task, not found in path, using '/clearml_agent_venv/bin/python3' (v3.7.3) instead

Is there any specific reason you're not running in docker mode? Running in docker would simplify things

The setting for the python binary should be explicit since the agent can't really 'detect' where you installed your python
For example:
agent.python_binary: "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\python.exe"
