Can't get .py to run on Win10 command line

[jonesin1974]

Hi,

I'm trying to run my python script from a Windows 10 command prompt (batch file).

It works if I'm in the correct directory of where my python script resides (outside of python install dir); but not if I'm in a different directory.

My python 3.6.1 install is here:  C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\python.exe
My python script is here:  C:\Python_TestScript\runtime\jm_run.py

If I change directory to C:\Python_TestScript\ and try to run I get:

C:\Python_TestScript>C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\python.exe C:\Python_TestScript\runtime\jm_run.py

C:\Python_TestScript>

However, if I change to the directory in which the script resides C:\Python_TestScript\runtime\  it works as expected:

C:\Python_TestScript\runtime>C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\python.exe C:\Python_TestScript\runtime\jm_run.py

Any ideas?  This seems a bit odd to me.

Cheers,
