title: Issues on running python script from Windows batch file
body: <p>I have created a .bat file where i want to automatize the run of an opensource program. As you may see i am using the code below but once the virtual env is activated, it does not change directory from there so it may run a python script. I have tried several modifications found here but none of it seemed to work for me. What should i do so for the script to work properly?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
  
  <pre><code>rem Virtual environment works
  cd "C:\Projects"
  start ENV\Scripts\activate
  
  rem DOES NOT CHANGE THE DIRECTORY SO IT MAY RUN PYTHON SERVER, TRIED ALSO SEVERAL MODIFICATIONS BUT STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, ALSO PYTHON WONT START
  rem COMMAND TO START SERVER--&gt; python manage.py runserver
  
  cd "C:\Projects\my_project"
  start C:\Python27\python.exe C:\Projects\my_project\manage.py  runserver
  </code></pre>
