Actually, I just figured out the issue is that I need to run ant.bat instead of just ant. :(
This isn't going to work because I wanted to run something that would be system independent. So I found the runant.py and I'm trying to figure out how to call it. I tried import runant but it can't find the file. I tried reading the documentation, but it doesn't say how it builds the search path for imported items. Can someone tell me how I can run this script?
