Running Python script in my Windows .bat file

Question

I have a .bat file, in the file I did:

1. cd to a direcotry
2. copied the files to another directory
3. run the to-csv.vb program on the files
4. deleted some files
5. cd to another direction
6. run my Python script.

I'm stuck at step 6. Here is my code:

cd "Python\test1"
copy  "Python\test1\"*.xls*  "Python\test1\move"

FOR /f "delims=" %%i IN ('DIR *.xls* /b') DO to-csv.vbs "%%i" "%%i.csv" 
del "H2*.csv"
del "H6*.csv"
del "H3*.xlsx"

cd "H:\UCLAHealth\HIIN\Data Process\Python" #my python script1 is in this directory 

python script1.py  #this line didn't work.  

I'm ok with steps 1-5, but stuck on step 6. What's the correct syntax for running a Python script in .bat file?

Answer 1

You can either do this in your script:

set "python=C:\path to Python\python.exe"
"%python%" script1.py

Or you can execute it with full path:

"C:\Path to Python\python.exe" script1.py
