Provided there's only one Python block in the .bat or .cmd file then
there's no real problem; you just have to hide each language from the
other:
goto :start
"""
:start
@echo off
echo This is a CMD script
python -x %~f0 "%1"
echo Back in the CMD script
goto :eof
"""
import sys
print("Welcome to Python")
print("Arguments were {}".format(sys.argv))
print("Bye!")
You can put the Python code either before or after the triple-quote
string containing the CMD commands, just begin the file with a goto to
skip into the batch commands and end them by jumping to eof.
