	If the sole purpose of the BAT file is to set return codes, I
wouldn't bother using Python... Python is /not/ a shell language
substitute (On an IBM or Amiga, (A)Rexx is a closer match for a shell
language replacement -- since any "statement" that is not recognized as
a Rexx instruction would be passed the "current" command processor
[shell]).
 
	Invoking the whole Python interpreter to run a "one-liner" argument
is highly inefficient, and in the end, rather futile.

	Either convert the entire BAT file into a single multi-line Python
script, or don't bother.
