@hagay_finiti could it be this problem. There is a workaround suggested.

> Hi Marco @DerMaxdorfer, I am sorry for the troubles! Yes, we are aware of this unfortunate situation, see our troubleshoot section in the Python extension guide: [KNIME Python Integration Guide](https://docs.knime.com/latest/python_installation_guide/index.html#windows-issues) Let’s make @nemad aware of this, I am also not sure whether we can make the folder/file names within KAP shorter from our side. Best regards Steffen
