python script as pre-build event

hello,
I created a python script that checks the revision number of a project and stores into a .cs file. This works fine when I run it from the command prompt. But when putting in it the pre-build event command line it tells me that the command exited with code 1. What am I doing wrong? This is so simple, I'm sure I'm just missing something small. Thanks

In your build event try explicitly calling the python interpreter.

Code:

---

"C:\python30\python.exe" "MyDir\myScript.py"

---
