Hello,
We recently used ArcPro model builder to design a pretty simple script that truncates a feature classes, then pulls data from an Excel with Lat and Long fields, makes an XY Event Layer, then appends the results of the XY layer to the truncated feature class. This model ran successfully, and once we exported it to a Python script it runs successfully with Idle 2.7, but not with 3.7.
The failure occurs when trying to access the Excel file (I think), which is strange that an older version of Python can get there, but not the same version that the script was built in. Here is the error: ERROR 000732: XY Table: Dataset <dataset> does not exist or is not supported
And the script:
Failed to execute (MakeXYEventLayer)

The Excel is on a mapped network drive, which I've occasionally had trouble hitting with other scripts, but Idle 2.7 seems to access it correctly.
other notes: We also have Python 3.9 installed. Tried to run it with Idle3.9 and get the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'arcpy'
Ran AnalyzeToolsForPro and it output No Problems
