Conda environments and .BAT files
Question:
I am setting up calls to python (Anaconda distribution) via BAT files and the windows task scheduler.
I’ve now used environments for the first time and was trying to set a .bat file up as below:
activate [my_env]
python my_script.py
deactivate
Unfortunately it appears that the second command does not get executed.
Answers:
Are you sure you need a batch file? I think this should work.
cmd "/c activate [my_env] && python my_script.py && deactivate"
When I made a simple file containing
print("Hello")
Which I called myprint.py and ran
cmd "/c activate anaconda33 && python myprint.py && deactivate"
This worked for me. You could also put this in a one line batch file.
All activate does is put the environment in the front of the PATH. You can just call the absolute path to the python in the environment you want, like C:Anacondapython my-script.py.
Use the ‘call’ command when activating/deactivating the environment.
call activate [my_env]
python my_script.py
call conda deactivate
