I COULD break down each batch file and write dozens of mini python

bad, but these are bat files, after all. The cost of trying to work with
a multitude of small files is high, though, and I realized I had better
go to a mix.
In order to achieve this, it might be very useful to either have a
module for each (bigger) part to be achieved which you can call with
python -m modulename arg1 arg2 arg3
and putting the Python code into modulename.py.
Or you have one big "interpreter" which works this way:
class Cmd(object):
"""
Command collector
"""
def __init__(self):
self.cmds = {}
def cmd(self, f):
# register a function
self.cmds[f.__name__] = f
return f
def main(self):
import sys
sys.exit(self.cmds[sys.argv[1]](*sys.argv[2:]))
cmd = Cmd()
@cmd.cmd
def cmd1(arg1, arg2):
do_stuff()
...
return 1 # error -> exit()
@cmd.cmd
def cmd2():
...
if __name__ == '__main__':
cmd.main()
This is suitable for many small things and can be used this way:
bat cmds
python -m thismodule cmd1 a b
other bat cmds
python -m thismodule cmd2
...
