How can I run Python from a .cmd file, and have it pass a string back to the batch file, then SET a variable to this string?

Question

I intend to run a .cmd file, which will have

python my_program.py "Short string of information to pass to Python"

in it. The Python program will determine the path that the .cmd file needs, so I want to pass it as a string back to the .cmd when it finishes running, and then I want the .cmd to assign it to a variable, like so:

SET MY_VARIABLE <string-from-Python-here>

Is there a way I can do this? This Python file may also need to do some configuration first. We are running Python 2.7.

you can save Text File as batch file .bat python.exe "path\my_program.py" after that you can use windows schedule to schedule your script. for configuration you can save it in one file and read it from python itself.
