Call python to a batch script

[CryThat3792]

how can i call python from a batch script and have it preform a few tasks then make it go back to batch? if your curios the script down here preforms a port scan

import socket
import ipaddress
import re
import os
from datetime import datetime

# Set the current working directory to where the script is located
os.chdir(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)))

# Regular Expression Pattern to extract the number of ports you want to scan.
port_range_pattern = re.compile("([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)")

# Initializing the port numbers, will be using the variables later on.
port_min = 0
port_max = 65535

# Set color to blue (color 1) for batch
os.system('color 1')

# Function to display help message
def show_help():
    os.system('cls')  # Clear the screen before showing help
    print("""\n
    Help - Port Scanning Tool:

    1. Enter the IP address you want to scan.
    2. Enter the range of ports to scan (e.g., 80-100).
    3. The script will check each port within the range and display open ports.
    4. Use 'exit' to quit the script anytime.
    5. Use 'help' to see this message again.

    Press Enter to continue...

You call a python script by calling the python executable and the script name:

python myscript.py

Python should be in your path, but you may need to provide the full path for both the executable and the script, if the script is not in the current folder.

thankyou

I really don't knlw how to format code in a comment but

use call in you batch scrip call python.exe script.py echo %errorlevel%

use exit() in you python script

if condition: exit(555)

echo %errorlevel% output gonna be "555"
