Call Python From Bat File And Get Return Code

Try:

import os
os._exit(ret_value)

You should also check:

• sys.exit()

The windows shell saves the return code in the ERRORLEVEL variable:

python somescript.py
echo %ERRORLEVEL%

In the python script you can exit the script and set the return value by calling exit():

exit(15)

In older versions of python you might first have to import the exit() function from the sys module:

from sys import exit
exit(15)
