CodeDeploy failing with error Errno::ENOEXEC with message Exec format error

I have a CodeDeploy which deploys application on Windows instances. I have a Python script which is running as part of ValidateService hooks. Below is the code I have in that script:

print("hello")

So, I have removed everything and just printing hello as part of this script. When this script is called by CodeDeploy I get below error:

My appspec.yml file:

  ...
  ValidateService:
    - location: scripts/verify_deployment.py
      timeout: 900

I tried getting some help on Google but got nothing. Can someone please help me here.

Thanks
