We have a new Visual Cron server install and I'm running some basic batch files that run python scripts. The batch file and python script write output files but running the job in Visual Cron is doing absolutely nothing.
My settings are here (in the screenshot). I've tried various combinations of the check boxes under Miscellaneous but none seem to make a difference. It is running in Execution Context = Background.

The execute script function is correct but the implementation will not work. What you essentially have a command to run something that then runs something else. You asking to open a file which then executes another program. The feedback for the "second program" will not make it's way back to VC

You will need, assuming you are using Windows, the following:
1. a python program that can run .py scripts. Like this: https://www.python.org/downloads 
2. setup your job to run the python program exe and then use the command line to indicate your script



I ran an example script this way and received an output

here is the script:

string = 'Python Bash Java Python PHP PERL'
search = 'Python'
count = string.count(search)
print("%s appears %d times" % (search, count))

Result
