Python task in azure

Question

I'm trying to run this python task in azure pipeline.

- task: PythonScript@0
  inputs:
    scriptSource: 'inline'
     script: |
       import json
       import os
       import requests
       from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth  
       url = "https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/build/builds?definitionId={id}&api-version=6.0" 
      

But it gives me ##[error]Parameter 'toolPath' cannot be null or empty

Answer 1

Asking for toolPath as said by @msanford is for python Interpretor.

# Run a Python file or inline script
- task: PythonScript@0
  inputs:
    #scriptSource: 'filePath' # Options: filePath, inline
    #scriptPath: # Required when scriptSource == filePath
    #script: # Required when scriptSource == inline
    #arguments: # Optional
    #pythonInterpreter: # Optional
    #workingDirectory: # Optional
    #failOnStderr: false # Optional

You can follow above syntax and provide pythonInterpreter: /usr/bin/python3, however path might be different.

To get exact path run your task in Bask@3 and execute any random python3 command in script for example python3 -m import sys it will show you error with complete interpreter path and use that one.
