Run Command for Linux is designed to execute shell commands. You should be able to invoke the python script from the shell assuming its already on the VM. Please see my test below:

You might also find this StackOverflow thread helpful as it includes a varity of methods of executing python from the shell.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if that works for you or if you have any additional questions.

Unfortunately, ScriptPath will not work to send a python script to the VM. If it is a simple python script, you could perhaps use a bash script to echo the full contents of the python script then execute it. Otherwise, you could have the file uploaded to the VM and execute it.
