Is there a *.bat DOS batch script to *.py Python Script converter?
#1
I consider to convert some of my long term *.bat batch scripts (on Windows) to a corresponding *.py Pythoin script.

Is there a reliable converter tool to perform this task automatically?

Sure AI(eg ChatGPT) will do this task fine,with detailed explanation.
If you know what batch scripts do,then is fine training to do them manually over to Python.
There are module that for surly will be used like eg:os, subprocess, shutil ,pathlib(try to use this mostly over os),
so it good to know something about them.
Can also look into command-line interface (CLI) as i eg use in this post.

Yes, there are tools available that can convert DOS batch scripts (.bat) to Python scripts (.py). One such tool is called "bat2py," which is a command-line utility specifically designed for this purpose. It can analyze a batch script and generate an equivalent Python script.

Here are the steps to convert a batch script to a Python script using bat2py:

Download and install the "bat2py" utility. You can find it on the official website or various online repositories.

Open a command prompt or terminal and navigate to the directory where the batch script (*.bat) is located.

Run the following command to convert the batch script to a Python script:

bat2py your_script.bat

The utility will analyze the batch script and generate a corresponding Python script with the same name but with a .py extension.

For example, if your batch script is named example.bat, the converted Python script will be example.py.

Please note that the conversion process may not always result in a direct one-to-one translation, as batch scripts and Python scripts have different syntax and capabilities. Therefore, manual adjustments to the converted Python script may be necessary, depending on the complexity and functionality of the original batch script.
