How to resolve (code=exited,status=203/Exec) while creating a system service for Flask app

I am trying to deploy a flask app using uWSGI and nginx using system service. I saw many tutorials and all of them have the same processes except for the change in .service file.

This is my service file:

[Unit]
Description=Flask web server

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

[Service]
User=schirag
PermissionsStartOnly=true
ExecStart=/home/schirag/server.py
TimeoutSec=600
Restart=on-failure
RuntimeDirectoryMode=755

I am getting the status of the service file as follows:

flask.service - Flask web server
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/flask.service; disabled; vendor preset: disable>
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2021-08-11 11:20:25 IST; 6s ago
  Process: 13131 ExecStart=/home/schirag/server.py (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)
 Main PID: 13131 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)
Aug 11 11:20:24 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: flask.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=203/EXEC
Aug 11 11:20:24 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: flask.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Aug 11 11:20:25 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: flask.service: Service RestartSec=100ms expired, scheduling restart.
Aug 11 11:20:25 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: flask.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 5.
Aug 11 11:20:25 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Stopped Flask web server.
Aug 11 11:20:25 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: flask.service: Start request repeated too quickly.
Aug 11 11:20:25 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: flask.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Aug 11 11:20:25 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Failed to start Flask web server.

I have tried changing the service file from other sources and also tried changing the directory permissions, still getting the same error and can't start the app using the service. Although I can run the app manually using uwsgi using the following command - uwsgi --socket 0.0.0.0:8000 --protocol=http -w wsgi

Your ExecStart needs to updated. You have to provide both the location of the file and the interpreter. Since you are using python, your code should be in this way:

[Unit]
Description=Flask web server

[Service]
User=schirag
PermissionsStartOnly=true
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /home/schirag/server.py
TimeoutSec=600
Restart=on-failure
RuntimeDirectoryMode=755

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Use the command type python3 to get the location of the python.
