Python: Check if Program is being closed

all.
Is there a way, using Python, to check if the script that is currently running is requested to close? For example, If I press the X-Button (close program button) on the top-right to close it, or end the script in any other way, can the script do some code before it ends? Example:
# script goes here...
if Script_To_Be_Closed: # replace this with an actual line of code.
do_stuff

There are multiple options you may use, like trapping keyboardinterrupts, but the simplest is atexit, which executes a function whenever a scripts is ended (except of a hard process kill indeed).
import atexit
def my_exit_function(some_argument):
// Your exit code goes here
print(some_argument)
if __name__ == '__main__':
atexit.register(my_exit_function, 'some argument', )
// Your script goes here

You can use a shell script to do the job
You can see the script command shown below which calls itself after executing the command to run the python file. once the python file is closed the next line will force the python command to run again. you can also customise the behaviour the way you want.
main.py
#!/bin/bash
python3 ./main.py
source ./infiniteRun.sh
If you need to stop the job just edit the file and remove the last line source ./infiniteRun.sh and save the file.

How can I stop a python script on a batch file

I want to start a python script and then automatically close that script after 2 minutes, run another command, and keep doing the same thing again like this (loop) forever :
Cd c:/location.of.script/
pythonscript.py
Stop (like ctrl+c) pythonscript.py after 120s
Del -f cookies.file
.
.
.
Is this even possible with a batch file on windows 10? If so, can someone please help me with this?
I’ve been looking everywhere but found nothing except the exit() command which stops the script from inside - this isn’t what I want to do.

You can change your python script to exit after 2 minutes, and you could batch file that has a while loop that runs forever and run the python script then deletes the cookie.file, I don't know if that's exactly what you want, but you can do it by putting a timer in your python script.
You can make a separate thread that keeps track of the time and terminates the code after some time.
An example of such a code could be:
import threading
def eternity(): # your method goes here
while True:
pass
t=threading.Thread(target=eternity) # create a thread running your function
t.start() # let it run using start (not run!)
t.join(3) # join it, with your timeout in seconds

Call to several batch files through CMD doesn't block

I'm trying to call several install.bat files one after another with Python trough CMD.
It is necessary that each bat file be displayed in an interactive console window because it asks for some users instructions and that the python program only resume after each CMD process is resolved
Each install.bat file can take a pretty long time to finish its process.
My code is the following :
for game in games :
print("----------- Starting conversion for %s -----------" %game)
subprocess.call("start cmd /C " + "Install.bat", cwd=os.path.join(gamesDosDir,game), shell=True)
print("end")
But the console windows inside the shell are launched all at once and the "end" message appears event before any of them is finished, whereas I would like them appearing one by one and not go to the n+1 one until the n one is finished and the console window closed (either by user or automatically /K or /C then).
I understand this is some problems using CMD as call should be blocking. How to resolve that? Additionally, if possible how to keep it exactly the same and add 'Y' and 'Y' as default user input?

The most common way to start a batch file (or more generally a CLI command) if to pass it as an argument to cmd /c. After you comment I can assume that you need to use start to force the creation of a (new) command window.
In that case the correct way is to add the /wait option to the start command: it will force the start command to wait the end of its subprocess:
subprocess.call("start /W cmd /C " + "Install.bat", cwd=os.path.join(gamesDosDir,game),
shell=True)
But #eryksun proposed a far cleaner way. On Windows, .bat files can be executed without shell = True, and creationflags=CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE is enough to ensure a new console is created. So above line could simply become:
subprocess.call("Install.bat", cwd=os.path.join(gamesDosDir,game),
creationflags = subprocess.CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE)

calling one batch file mutiple times

I want to call a batch file from another batch file ten times.
I want to know is there anyway i can use looping in batch commands, something like while or for.
For now i was working on this
set _script_name=script1
echo %_script_name%
set num1=0
set num2=1
set terminator=5
SET _log_path=D:\USERS\Administrator\Desktop\batch_v2\Logs\
SET device1=4df1a5c715b65fb1
SET _monkey_path=D:\USERS\Administrator\Desktop\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130729\sdk\tools\
cd %_monkey_path%
:loop
set /a num1= %num1% + %num2%
if %num1%==%terminator% goto close
goto open
:close
echo %num1%
pause
exit
:open
monkeyrunner.bat D:\USERS\Administrator\Desktop\batch_v2\script.py %device1% > %_log_path%newlog.txt
goto loop
I want to call script.py in a loop.
or is there any way i can use loop in my py file to call my batch file within while in the py file.
Basically my objectove is to use a batch file to pull logs after each iteration of my py script.
Using this script is called only once

Yes, there is a FOR construct in batch:
FOR /L %%G IN (1,1,100) DO (
START C:\path\to\your.bat
)
This code will run your bat file 100 times.
The syntax is FOR /L %%parameter IN (start,step,end) DO command
For more information check http://ss64.com/nt/for_l.html
If you want to run all your bats in parallel each in it's own console use START your.bat. If you want them to run in background use START /B your.bat. If you want them to run one after another and each in it's own console use START /WAIT your.bat.
The last option is to run them one after another AND all in your main console use CALL your.bat.

Sequentially running multiple python programs "with sys" using batch

I am using Windows based PC.
I have multiple python programs with "sys". I mean the programs have these lines.
import sys
input_file = sys.argv[1]
output_file = sys.argv[2]
So I run these programs by running
python program1.py input1 output1
However, there are series of python programs so it will be convenient if I can run all these by double-clicking only one file.
How can I run them all sequentially, not simultaneously?
I tried things like
start C:\python27\python.exe program1.py input1 output1
start C:\python27\python.exe program2.py input2 output2
But it did not work..

Call is mainly for calling a batch file from within a batch file or running a block in current batch file as subroutine.
Start is the command to start any application as a separate process which means for a console applications to run it in a separate command prompt (console) window. A GUI application executed from within a batch file is always started as a separate process even if command start is not used.
Running an application results in halting the execution of the batch file until the application terminates itself for most applications. (There are applications with a different behavior caused by the application itself.) But a console or GUI application started using command start results in immediate continuation of batch file execution.
With using start /wait ... it is possible to start a console or GUI application as a separate process and halt execution of the batch file until the application terminates itself.
start /wait C:\python27\python.exe program1.py input1 output1
start /wait C:\python27\python.exe program2.py input2 output2
On running start /? in a command prompt window, the help for this command is printed into the output window.
["title"] means that optionally a title can be set for the new command prompt window (used only on starting a console application). I mention this here because command start can interpret any string in double quotes anywhere on the command line also as window title. Therefore if the application to start or one of its parameters must be enclosed in double quotes because of a space character or one of these characters &()[]{}^=;!'+,`~ in path or file name, it is better to explicitly specify a title string in double quotes immediately after command start as first parameter which can be even an empty string like "" (best for GUI applications).
start "Python Task 1" /wait "C:\python27\python.exe" program1.py input1 output1
start "Python Task 2" /wait "C:\python27\python.exe" program2.py input2 output2

import os
os.system('python' + ' ' + 'python_1.py')
os.system('python' + ' ' + 'python_2.py')
This solution is itself a python program. You can also construct the program names and have this in a loop. You can also add a parameter after the program name.
