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"

@<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?

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

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?
