Obviously this is not an obvious place for help with python.

Run the script outside of Node-RED. At a command prompt run python3 facial_req3.py
Once that is running and sitting there waiting for images you can then start node-red and send it some images

oh yes i know that, but how would i get the pi to do it automatically from start-up without the user going to the command prompt

That is actually very easy, this is one of many alternatives. Good if you like to see the command prompt running on the desktop,

If you prefer to run the script invisible, just change the exec node configuration
