Make a batch file run a python code with arguments

If you want to run a batch file from python program you should do the following

OS : Windows

run.py

import os
os.system("<bat_file_name> argument1 argument2 argument3")

In batch file

run.bat

echo %1
echo %2
echo %3

These will print all your 3 arguments.

In case you wanna excute a python script using batch

run.py

python run.py argument1 argument2 argument3

and In python file you will grab them as

import sys
arg1 = sys.argv[1]
arg1 = sys.argv[2]
arg1 = sys.argv[3]

import argparse

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("foo")
parser.add_argument("bar")
args = parser.parse_args()

print(args.foo, args.bar)

Above code is a python code for simple argparse example. Name this as example.py

Your bat file should be like

C:\python27\python.exe D:\XXX\XXX\XXX\example.py hello world

A simple single line code.

Save this batch file as example.bat somewhere and execute this at the cmd window.

Thanks for the answers!

if you want to get arguments from python to batch,
you simply pass them one by one with space in between, for example:

output = subprocess.check_output("abc.bat "+ arg1 + " " + arg2)

and to use them in the batch file:

%1 - for the first argument
%2 - for the second argument
%3 - for the third argument

and so forth.

Thanks :)
