Hello,

I'm trying to execute a python file, that can be found under the absolute path. But I only get the Error: 2  
How can I retrieve more error messages and what is the Problem?

Thank you very much!!

Add debug nodes to the other outputs on the exec node, set to Show Complete Message and see what they say. That should give you a clue about what it going wrong.
