Conda environments and .BAT files

anaconda, conda, python

Solution

Use the 'call' command when activating/deactivating the environment.

call activate [my_env]
python my_script.py
call conda deactivate

See https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/794

Problem

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.
