Scheduling A Python Script Via Windows Task Scheduler

Observe the following Python script, 'Script.py': import subprocess src_directory = 'Z:\z_7z\Some_Directory' zip_file_name = 'Test.7z' cmd = ['7z', 'a', zip_file_name, src_director

Solution 1:

1. Don't just launch 7z. Provide the full path to the executable.

   cmd = [r'C:\Program Files\7zip\7z.exe', 'a', zip_file_name, src_directory, '-mx9'] Would work, considering that C:\Program Files\7zip\7z.exe is the executable path.

2. Try not running the python process with the script as an argument. Run the python script itself.

3. Your zip_file_name is relative. I'm not sure the argument is a filename. It may be a path. In that case, the .7z file may be created on C:\Windows\System32. To fix it, set zip_file_name to be a full path.
