No, DOSKEY just affects what you type, you would have to write the commands
out in full in a batch file.
If you are running a lot of Python scripts from the command prompt or batch
files, consider adding .py to the PATHEXT environment variable, that will
let you run scripts directly, e.g. "scriptname" instead of "python
scriptname.py", and will search PATH for the scripts. (However be aware
that redirecting doesn't work on most versions of windows for scripts
invoked this way!)
