%ERRORLEVEL% gets expanded in the initial parsing before this line is executed, at which time it is 0. Because of the /b argument, you're not actually exiting CMD and have no reason to change the error value. Just use `exit /b`. Why use CMD as a launcher when you have py.exe with shebang support? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
