Syntax Error when saving file path to variable - python-3.x

I am trying to save a path file to a variable. It is part of a larger set of code. I keep getting a syntax error , but it is not obvious as to why. Whenever I take the code and run it separately in a different cell in jupyter notebook it works fine. It's just when I run it as part of the bigger code set that I get a syntax error.
Anyone have any idea why? I am unable to share my entire code as it contains some confidential details.
below is the code I run as part of the larger script
path = r"C:\Users\O34639\Desktop\Python_Scripts\SSI.xlsx"
I receive the error below
File "<ipython-input-193-2b5bd969f401>", line 51
path = r"C:\Users\O34639\Desktop\Python_Scripts\SSI.xlsx"
^SyntaxError: invalid syntax
when I run the code on it's own cell it works properly no issues, but I have no idea why it's not working when running it as part of the bigger script
I've tried using the escape \ and getting rid of the r character, but I still get the same message

Golem Task respons back with runtime error 2, can't determine the cause

Repo for all code I've been using is updated here . When I run the requestor script it exits with a runtime error 2 (File not found). I am not sure how to further debug this or fix it. So far I've converted my code over to a python slim docker image to better mirror the example. It also works for me when I spin up a docker image that typing and running "/golem/work/imageclassifier.py --trainmodel" works from root. I switched all my code to use absolute paths. I also did make sure the shebang (#!) uses linux end of file characters rather than windows before which was giving me errors. Fixed a bug where my script returns error code 2 when called with no args to now pass.
clf.fit(trainDataGlobal, trainLabelsGlobal)
pkl_file = "classifier.pkl"
with open(pkl_file, 'wb') as file:
pickle.dump(clf, file)
is the only piece I could think of that causes the issue, but as far as I can tell this is the proper way to pickle something in python. Requestor script is also heavily based on the simple service example and I tried to mirror my design to that. I just need help in getting more information while debugging, or guidance on how to move forward from here

How is AppleScriptTask called from Excel 365 VBA on Mac mini running Big Sur?

I am trying to run an AppleScript from VBA in an Excel 365 macro and I keep getting:
Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument
I have this script called "PythonCommand.scpt" in my /Library/Application Scripts/com.microsoft.Excel folder:
on PythonCommandHandler(pythonScript)
--do shell script "/usr/local/bin/Python3" & pythonScript
return "Handler ended! " & pythonScript
end PythonCommandHandler
I commented out the "do" statement so I should simply get back what I send it. I tested this in the script editor by adding a line to invoke the function and it works just fine.
I have this code in my VBA macro:
Dim result As String
Dim strPyScript As String
strPyScript = "xxxx"
result = AppleScriptTask("/Library/Application Scripts/com.microsoft.Excel/PythonCommand.scpt", "PythonCommandHandler", strPyScript)
and when I run it I get the error '5'.
I tried changing the first argument to just "PythonCommand.scpt" instead of the whole path but got the same error. I tried putting the last argument in as a quoted string instead of using a variable and got the same result. I have looked at this post:
How can I launch an external python process from Excel 365 VBA on OSX?
and started my coding from there (this example had the first argument with no path). Then I read this one:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/office-mac/applescripttask from Microsoft which is specific to using the AppleScriptTask command. It lays out the process a bit more clearly but is basically the same. I also looked at this post:
How to simply run an applescript task from mac excel 2016
which has a broken link to a Ron deBruin article which I found here:
https://macexcel.com/examples/setupinfo/applescripttask/index.html
Which is quite clear and easier to read but says basically the same thing. The post with the broken link was resolved by making the script an app and invoking it as a hyperlink. I tried that and it works but there are several shortcomings with that approach: can't pass an argument to the script, can't get anything back from the script, and control does not wait for the script to end before executing the next line of VBA code. I really want to make the AppleScriptTask command work. I feel I must be missing something. If others have gotten this to work I must be doing something wrong. I tried turning on all the references I could find in Tools References but that didn't change anything, I still got the error '5': message. Please help me out here if you can. I really appreciate any help you can offer.
Thanks
Phil
Phil,
The code I use is:
res = AppleScriptTask("selectFile.scpt", "GetFile", args)
NB I don't need to put the full path to the scpt file. I presume this is because it is sandboxed and so vba knows where it is.
BTW I put the scpt file in this folder:
${HOME}/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Excel/Data/Library/Application Scripts/com.microsoft.Excel
The folder you have specified is not a user folder, but rather a system folder.

create exception when python command generates a program.exe has stopped working type error

I am facing a problem with a program i am developing in Python 3.6 under Windows 10.
One particular command generates an unknown error, windows throws a 'program.exe has stopped working' message and the program exits.
The command is a 3d-model loader that is part of another python package (Panda3D). The crash is always associated with this command (and more particularly with a specific dll of the loader) and a particular file that it tries to open.
Since i cannot locate and therefore solve the faults in the dll (probably there is a bug there) i would like to just pass the problematic file and continue to the next one. But since python exits and i do not know the error type, the typical try, except does not work.
So, i would like to know if there is a way to predict this type of behavior in my code and prevent the program from exiting.
Many thanks for any help.
The pop-up "Program.exe has stopped working." can be caused by a variety of things and therefor there is no "one size fits all" type solution. But if you're certain that your problem is cause by a specific line of code you can always try something along the lines of :
try:
loader.loadModel("c/path/to/your/file")
except Exception as e:
print(e.message, e.args)
# your error-handling code here
Make sure the file path that you're giving to loadModel respects the following :
# WRONG:
loader.loadModel("c:\\Program Files\\My Game\\Models\\Model1.egg")
# RIGHT:
loader.loadModel("/c/Program Files/My Game/Models/Model1.egg")

touching a path name with varriable or other methode

I have a question about touching a path in a shell script. I'm making a script that clears some directories and add some files, now I'm trying to do this with touch /name/of/path instead of a find. I have some troubles with one of the paths this is becaus the last bit of the name changes in every file (the files are about working orders) now I tried some stuff like a variable or just the path with a * but it gives me an error
can anyone tell me if i need to change my variable for example.
the variable im currently using:
test='path/to/touch/annoy\ ing\ space*/'
and in my code I would like to execute this like
touch $test/test.txt
the error I get when running this is
touch: invalid option --'\'
I guess i get this option because there are \ in the varriabe but that is because there are spaces in the directory name I'm trying to enter.
I also tried something like this
touch path/to/touch/annoy\ ing\ space*/test.txt
but I also get an error when I try it like this, I read this is because I use a wildcard in touch and that isn't allowed. Can anyone confirm this?
If someone could give me an example or tip how to do this it would realy help me out. thanks in advance

Error while using actxcontrol in Matlab to clear contents in an open Excel file.

This is my code to clear the excel file I have opened.
% get running excel file
Excel = actxGetRunningServer('Excel.Application');
ExcelFile = Excel.get('Workbooks','usbTC0832.xls');
ExcelSheet = ExcelFile.Sheets.Item('Sheet1');
ExcelFile.Worksheets.Item('Sheet1').Range('A2:C520').ClearContents
% ExcelFile.Save;
Pretty straightforward and it works perfectly in another system. In my new system however it throws up the error
>>Error using COM.Excel_Application/get
>>Invoke Error, Dispatch Exception: Invalid index.
It works fine the first time right after I restart my system. Every instance afterwords it throws up that error. I've tried restarting matlab but it doesn't go away. I seem to need to restart my system. I can't understand what the problem is. Any help would be appreciated.
It may be that the get on Workbooks tries to open the file.
But if it is already open, it will raise an error.
Try to look for it first, with Excel.Workbooks.Item('usbTC0832.xls').
That also could give an error if it is NOT open, you should capture it and if not open, use the get.
