Answer 1

In your Python script, just write to standard out: sys.stdout.write(...)

I'm not sure what scripting language you are using, maybe you could elaborate on that, for now I'll assume you are using bash (unix shell). So, In your batch script you can have the output of the python script into a variable like this:

#run the script and store the output into $val
val = `python your_python_script.py`
#print $val
echo $val

EDIT it turns out, it is Windows batch

python your_python_script.py > tmpFile 
set /p myvar= < tmpFile 
del tmpFile 
echo %myvar%
