Importing python packages for deadline jobs

Deadline
1

Hey all, I’ve been trying to use a python script as a post task script inside deadline monitor. I’ve used numpy and imageio (which also uses numpy) in my script. However, when running, I’m constantly getting this error saying:

 SyntaxError : ('invalid syntax', ('C:\\users\\render1\\appdata\\local\\programs\\python\\python39\\lib\\site-packages\\numpy\\init.py', 164, 35, '        raise ImportError(msg) from e\n')) (FranticX.Scripting.PythonNetException)

for clarity, this is what line 164 is saying:

Error importing numpy: you should not try to import numpy from
        its source directory; please exit the numpy source tree, and relaunch
        your python interpreter from there.

I’ve tried passing the address of sitepackages folder directly or using a fresh virtual environment and passing the address to deadline. But I get the same error every time.
What am I missing here? how do I go about importing these well known packages inside deadline like numpy and pandas?

This line 164… is it commented? because this is not python syntax.
But if it is commented, then probably the comment itself applies - that numpy should be imported differently.
