pass arguments from bat file to pyhon script from application

[absolut]

Hi

I have an application that allows me execute a bat file. I can't execute a python file.

I need to pass the arguments of the application to python script. So I do:

echo "%*" > c:\script\salida.txt
python c:\script\envio.py %*

In python I execute a simple python program to store arguments in a file, but I see don't works. If I execute in terminal works but with the application doesn't works. The argumentos file doesn't store the arguments.

import sys
import os

def main():

if len(sys.argv) < 2:

print("Por favor, proporciona argumentos al script.")

return

argumentos = sys.argv[1:]
ruta_directorio = r"C:\script"

nombre_archivo = "argumentos.txt"
ruta_completa = os.path.join(ruta_directorio, nombre_archivo)

try:

os.makedirs(ruta_directorio, exist_ok=True)
with open(ruta_completa, "w") as archivo:

for argumento in argumentos:

archivo.write(argumento + "\n")

print(f"Argumentos guardados en '{ruta_completa}'")

except Exception as e:

print(f"Error al escribir en el archivo: {e}")

if __name__ == "__main__":

main()

Any help? Thanks

Solved! I need to put absolute path to python and it works! Thanks

You could start the batch file with subprocess.run. The batch file is executed via cmd.exe.

Small example with suppressing the CMD Terminal:

import subprocess


def run_batch(script: str):
    proc = subprocess.run(
        ["cmd.exe", "-C"],
        creationflags=subprocess.CREATE_NO_WINDOW,
        capture_output=True,
        input=script,
        encoding="latin1",
    )

    print("SDOUT:", proc.stdout)
    print()
    print("SDOUT:", proc.stderr)
    print()
    print(proc.returncode)


SCRIPT = """
echo Hello World
dir
"""

run_batch(SCRIPT)

And instead of inline the batch file, you could execute it from Python:

import subprocess
from pathlib import Path


def run_batch(script: Path):
    proc = subprocess.run(
        script,
        creationflags=subprocess.CREATE_NO_WINDOW,
        capture_output=True,
        encoding="latin1",
    )

    print("SDOUT:", proc.stdout)
    print()
    print("SDOUT:", proc.stderr)

    return proc.returncode == 0


# only absolute Paths do work with .bat-files.
batch_file = Path.home().joinpath("Desktop", "k.bat").absolute()
run_batch(batch_file)

Check, if the encoding latin1 is correct. I don't know if different language versions of windows uses different encodings for cmd.exe.
