Python Won't Run Even Through It Is In the Path - python

I have a SQL Server Agent job that executes some python scripts using CmdExec. Everything is set up with a proxy account as expected.
When I run the job I get:
Message
Executed as user: domain\proxyaccount. 'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.
I'm using Anaconda and Python is in the system PATH variable. When I run python from command line, it works. When I run python cutting and pasting the specific command from the job, it works. When I use runas to mimic the proxy account it works. The only place Python doesn't run is form inside the job.
What else do I need to look at to trouble shoot this issue?

You should restart SQL Server Agent after you installed Python on the server.
It is necessary for SQL Server Agent to load new environment variables, including the updated PATH with Python in it.
There are also suggestions to restart SQL Server too, but I believe restarting SQL Server Agent will be enough.

Can't run Python Script on remote VM via SSH

I have an Azure VM into which I SSH in. The VM is a W10 host.
I can create files with touch, change directories and so on, but whenever I try to run a python script that is hosted on the VM I get the following error:
The system cannot execute the specified program.
At first glance I thought that there was a problem related to my pyhton alias and the PATH variable, so I decided to use RDP to log into the machine, open a CMD and try the same command, which worked just fine. The python program executed flawlessly.
I used where to find where is my python.exe located at, so whenever I run the script on my remote terminal I can do something like:
C:\Users\User01\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe test.py
This does result in the same error message as the one stated above.
Can I get some help?
Hi try to execute your command as below.

SVN SSL Certificate Untrusted via Python Script

I have a strange scenario going on at the moment. When I issue an svn info TXN REPO command on our build server (separate from the SVN server), it works as expected and displays the relevant information to the console.
However when I script it using Python, and specifically, Popen from the subprocess module, it prints a message svn: E230001: Server SSL certificate untrusted to the standard error (console).
What I've tried:
Using --non-interactive and --trust-server-cert flags within the script call.
Passing a username/password within the svn info call via the script.
The above two don't seem to take effect, and the same error as above is spat out. However, manually running the same command from the command prompt succeeds with no problems. I assume it might be something to do with python opening up a new session to the SVN server, and that session isn't a "trusted" connection? But I can't be sure.
Our SVN server is on a windows machine and is version 1.8.0
Our build server is a windows machine running Jenkins version 2.84. Jenkins executes a batch script which kicks off the Python script, performing the above task.
Command: svn_session = Popen("svn info --non-interactive --trust-server-cert --no-auth-cache -r %s %s" % (TXN, REPOS), stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE, shell=True)
** Edit **
When I copy and paste the python line from the script into the interactive python shell on the same server, the command works as expected also. So the issue is how the script is executing the command, rather than the command itself or how Python runs that command.

Has anyone come across this before?
In case anyone is looking at this in the future. Panda Pajama has given a detailed answer to this..

python script doesn't work properly under scheduler

I have a program on Windows Server 2012 that:
-reads sql query from text file in the same location
-imports helper functions from file in the same location
-executes query on sql server (in the same network) and saves the results
-creates a google spreadsheet from the results (using API credencials that are in the same location)
When I log in to tthe server and execute the file in cmd: python myscript.py everything is fine. However when I try to do the same from Task Scheduler it fails. I get 0x1 error.
This is what I put in my Scheduler actions:
program/script - quoted full path to python.exe (which is in Anaconda folder)
Arguments - quoted full path to myscript.py
Start in - blank
I have tried running it as myself, SYSTEM, Administrators. Also tried Highest priveleges and user logged on or not options... Also followed another solution on SO that recommended running cmd and then "/c python full/path/to/myscript.py" But it's always the same.
It´s very frustrating. I realize it's not strictly coding related issue but I am sure many python programmers had it.
Have you got the same error when starting non-python tasks with scheduler?
If not - I would try to install clear Python and create new schedule .bat file with
powershell C:\Python27\python.exe C:\Python27\file.py

How to Use Python to execute initial commands over the terminal and then continue use

I have looked into using pxssh ,subprocess and paramiko but have found no success. What I am ultimately trying to do is figure out a way to not only use SSH to access a server and execute commands using a python script and finish there, but also have it open an instance of the terminal after executing all the commands for continued use.
Currently the server has modules that clients have to manually activate using commands after they have established an SSH connection.
For example:
module python
This command would give the user access to python.
Following this the user would then be able to use python and all its commands through the ssh connection in the terminal.
The issue I have with the methods listed earlier for executing these commands is that it does not display an instance of the terminal. It successfully executes the commands but since these commands have to be executed every time a new SSH connection is established it's worthless unless I can get essentially a copy of the terminal that the Python script executed and loaded up all the modules with.
Does any one have a solution to this? I've scoured the web for hours to no success.
This is a very difficult issue to explain so if anything is unclear please ask me and I will try my best to rephrase things. I am very new to all this.

Determine what script/module a python instance is executing?

I'm writing a program to monitor a python script running. There will be multiple instances of this script, which is a server, running from different locations on the computer. My program will be monitoring to see that all instances that are being "watched" are up and running and will restart them as necessary.
The server script cannot be edited.
My problem is that the server process just shows up as the python executable, and I am unable to determine the location of the specific server script on the computer.
Is there anyway to determine what script is actually running on a specific python/pythonw.exe process? And also its path?
ENV: Windows only
You can run the following command from the command line:
WMIC PROCESS get Caption,Commandline,Processid,ExecutablePath
This will show you which module is being executed.
