title: How to run cmd commands from python?
body: <p>I am having problems with running some cmd commands from python script. Found lot of examples and stuff explaining subprocess.run but can't get my scripts running...</p>
  <p>I have batch script with commands like:</p>
  <pre><code>set PATH=%PATH%;&quot;C:\d\program\program_4\bin&quot;
  set PROGRAM_WAS_RUNNING=0
  
  echo Starting PROGRAM (headless)
  programd --file &quot;C:\d\projects\project1\tool\program.exe&quot; --dont-breakaway-from-job
  if %ERRORLEVEL%==0 goto next0
      echo -- PROGRAM with GUI is running
      set PROGRAM_WAS_RUNNING=1
  
  :next0
  </code></pre>
  <p>.. etc</p>
  <p>Tried with this code but won't work:</p>
  <pre><code>command = subprocess.run([&quot;set&quot;, &quot;PATH=%PATH%;C:\d\program\program_4\bin&quot;])
  command = subprocess.run([&quot;set&quot;, &quot;PROGRAM_WAS_RUNNING=0&quot;])
  </code></pre>
  <p>Can someone please give an example and explain in short what would be the best way to translate all of these and other similar batch commands into Python?
  Thanks,</p>
