The first batch file launches a command prompt, i need the second command to be in the ccontext of the first. how can I do this in python?
As is, it launches the batch, and blocks until the batch (with its command prompt context) terminates, and then executes devenv without the necessary context.
os.system(r'%comspec% /k ''C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat'' x86') os.system(r'devenv asdf.sln /rebuild Debug /Out last-build.txt') think of it as in i’m in bash, and i need to execute a command in a perl context, so i type perl -c 'asdf'. executing perl and asdf back to back won’t work, i need to get the devenv inside of the perl context.
I these situations I use script that does it all. That way you can chain as much as you want. Sometimes I will generate the script on the fly.
