I'm trying to execute a python scrip from SSIS Execute Process Task. I followed all the tutorials of how to do this an still the script is failing from the start. when i execute the python script out of SSIS it runs perfectly.

This is my Python scrip:

 import sys
import gender_guesser.detector as gender
import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET
from xml.etree.ElementTree import ParseError
try:
    input("Press Enter to continue...")
except SyntaxError:
    pass
tree = ET.parse('user.xml')

root = tree.getroot()

for child_of_root in root:
    for  attr in child_of_root:
        if attr.tag == 'first_name':
         upperName = "%s%s" % (attr.text[0].upper(), attr.text[1:])
         print attr.tag,upperName
         d = gender.Detector()
         gen = d.get_gender(upperName)
         print gen
    attr.text= gen

tree = ET.ElementTree(root)
tree.write("user1.xml")

this is an image of the SSIS Execute Process Task:

Did you have spaces in your file path to your python script? I had the same error when trying to pass a path with spaces as my argument in Execute Script Process. The resolution was to enter the argument with quotes.
