Make a text file, save it as something.bat, put the line below in the
first line of the file.

@python -x "%~f0" %* & goto :EOF
or 
@python -x -OO "%~f0" %* & goto :EOF

Put python code in the lines underneath.

If you're using emacs and want syntax highlighting:

Put
# Local Variables: ***
# mode:python ***
# End: ***

at the end of the file


I think that this only works on win2k because it uses extensions to 
the batch language that is not part of win9x family of os'es.
