Creating a bat file to call Python from command line

C:\Users\Dimitris\Documents
cd \Programmes
cmd.exe
According to the book I am working this should call the command line from where I could program in Python language (sure I know about IDLE and Python shell!). I just want to figure out what I am doing wrong. Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Not sure which book you are using, but let's presume you have Python installed correctly (including it's entry's in your environmental variables.  If that is true, then your .bat file need only be:
cmd /C c:\python36\python.exe
Note that the location of your 'python.exe' may be located in a different directory, if so, just replace the correct directory instead of "c:\python36".

Running the .bat will open the python interpreter and you can go ahead and start typing.

Output:
C:\Python>cmd /C c:\python36\python.exe Python 3.6.0 (v3.6.0:41df79263a11, Dec 23 2016, 08:06:12) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>>
If it ain't broke, I just haven't gotten to it yet.
