The absolute dumbest way out of it is, in the same script, to copy the siShell bat file, add a line at the end with xsibatch's call and parameters the way you would manually call it in that shell, save it with a predetermined name and location, then call Popen on that bat instead of the base one. Delete the file once done.
Hard to get any more straightforward than that if you have no particular needs other than launching a bat.
