What sort of batch script are you referring to, and what do you want it to do? Most times you can do everything you need in the Python code.

"Windows Batch is different from Linux shell scripts and has been replaced by Powershel"

No, Windows Batch was not replaced by PowerShel, the two coexist, although there are practices of forcing, pushing the migration to PowerShell, and a consequent statement pointing to "abandon" batch, batch (and the command interpreter "cmd. exe") is present in all current versions of Windows.

It really depends on what your system is - Windows Batch is different from Linux shell scripts, and has been superceded by Powershell in later OS versions.

Find out what is available on your system, and google for that specifically: "*** file commands" will get you loads of info if you replace "***" with ".BAT", "powershell", or ".SH" which will get you started.
