Hello, I have two questions:

  1. What flavor of Linux are you using?

  2. As a potential workaround and test, can you please try starting a shell script file instead, and from within this shell script file start your Python script?

I have no problem on my Chromebook with Debian linux using;

  {
      "Command": "XRunAndWait",
      "Target": "/usr/bin/python3 ",
      "Value": "/home/support/z.py",
      "Description": "python script needs explicit file paths"
    },
    {
      "Command": "store",
      "Target": "${!xrun_exitcode}",
      "Value": "strng",
      "Description": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "echo",
      "Target": "Python script exit code: ${strng}",
      "Value": "",
      "Description": ""
    }

If your getting an error code = 1 uivision is not finding your python executable or script
