How can I run many python scripts at once?

I’m working on some python scripts using PyCharm. Running scripts from PyCharm works fine, but I tried bundling them up with a batch file and cmd just goes nuts:

    C:UsersWhite PythonDesktopFrantheconfluencegraphsleaderboard>python htmlcreator.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "htmlcreator.py", line 4, in <module>
    w = open(str(Path(__file__).parents[2]) + "/week.txt", "r")
  File "C:UsersWhite PythonAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython38-32libpathlib.py", line 617, in __getitem__
    raise IndexError(idx)
IndexError: 2

C:UsersWhite PythonDesktopFrantheconfluencegraphsleaderboard>cd ..retention

C:UsersWhite PythonDesktopFrantheconfluencegraphsretention>python creategraph.py
['C:\Users\White Python\Desktop\Fran\theconfluence\graphs\retention', 'C:\Users\White Python\AppData\Local\Programs\Python

  File "C:UsersWhite PythonAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython38-32libpathlib.py", line 617, in __getitem__
    raise IndexError(idx)
IndexError: 2

Other scripts which did not require importing modules worked fine. Help!

Answer

Is your html creator a script? Or more like module? If it’s like a module the try:

python -m htmlcreator
