I don't understand your actual problem.  Python is much more expressive
than batch, so why not actually convert it?

Write a file with an extension of .py, and run it the same way you'd run
a batch file.  This assumes you have Python 3 associated with the .py
extension.

Now it won't matter if the python code has one line, or 100.
