I'm using Deadline monitor to automate a few processes. I don't think you'll need to know about Deadline to answer my question though.

I've created a Python script that takes a few arguments to be able to create the .bat file. I then want the same python script to run the .bat file to do what I need it to do. However, I'm not having any luck.

def main(project_path, nuke_job_id):

    dependencies_file = project_path   "\\"   "dependencies.txt"

    with open(dependencies_file, 'r') as f:
        Job_IDs = f.readlines()

    # ------------- remove unwanted characters

    list_string = str(Job_IDs)
    beginning_ids = list_string.split("[")
    end_ids = beginning_ids[1].split("]")
    job_ids_string = end_ids[0].split("'") # position 1 has what is needed

    # -------------

    temp_id = '636e4b2a518c9b626412f608'

    command = '"
