We use python scripts to invoke ditac.bat, no problem. Using Python 2.7 still, but we use the subprocess module. Because sometimes ditac prints "warnings" that we want to flag as errors, we use subprocess.Popen("ditac.bat ....") and then use the result object's .communicate() method to get stdout and stderr to make sure everything ran clean because the result object's .returncode is not always set to an error by ditac.bat :-) Our script does a lot of other things that I can't share, but one of them is making sure it can find ditac.bat on the PATH so that it can provide a better error message.
Thanks for this info.

It works OK in standalone mode, but I get the following error when I call it from a Python file: [Error 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application ditac is a ".bat" file, not a ".exe" file, invoking java.exe. (A working java.exe is expected to be found in your %PATH%, which seems to be the case.) I cannot program in Python, but I'm pretty sure that Python has a way to invoke ".bat" files.
