How can I run a shell script instead of python in a PyCharm run configuration?

Question

I am trying to setup PyCharm to invoke a shell script, instead of python, as the run option. Is this possible? In the default options I only have Python, Python docs, and Python

I think the easiest way is to just write a python script that calls the .bat file, and then run that:

p = Popen("batch.bat", cwd=r"C:\Path\to\batchfolder")
stdout, stderr = p.communicate()
