error on bat file

[Sanlus]

so today i tried to create a bat file, and the code is like this:

#! python3
@py.exe C:\Users\MSI\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Automate the Boring Stuff with Python Course\searchmap.py %*

and the system popped out a SyntaxError box saying invalid syntax, highlighting the C in C:\ part. i tried to get rid of first line or change the @py.exe to just @py but nothing is working.

what is py.exe?
normally python is executed from command line simply with python followed by script name.

I don't have enough information on your system to answer properly.
From a 'command' prompt AKA terminal prompt, type:

python -V

and post results

and post results

its Python 3.7.0

[Larz60+]

then you should use:

python searchmap.py

With path if not in system path

[Sanlus]

then you should use:

 python searchmap.py 

With path if not in system path

ive tried python and @python, neither worked. still the same error message

then you should use:

 python searchmap.py 

With path if not in system path

py.exe get installed in Windows folder when install Python37.
Can be used to accessing previous version or current,can also install with pip to all version installed.
Example:

# Python version set in Windows Path
C:\>python -V
Python 3.7.0

# Can also access with py
C:\>py -3.7 -V
Python 3.7.0

# Older version i have
C:\>py -2.7 -V
Python 2.7.9

C:\>py -3.4 -V
Python 3.4.2

C:\>py -3.5 -V
Python 3.5.2

C:\>py -3.6 -V
Python 3.6.4

Use py to install with pip to eg 2.7.

λ py -2.7 -m pip install logzero                                                                               
Requirement already satisfied: logzero in c:\python27\lib\site-packages

Making bat hello.bat.
Use python main version,pause in bat so cmd window doesn't close immediately.
Can also put this last in code input('Press Enter to exit').

@echo off
python C:/foo/hello.py %*
pause

If want to run 2.7 in a bat file,then use py.

@echo off
py -2.7 C:/foo/hello.py %*
pause
