I am setting up calls to python (Anaconda distribution) via BAT files and the windows task scheduler.

I've now used environments for the first time and was trying to set a .bat file up as below: 

activate [my_env]
python my_script.py
deactivate

Unfortunately it appears that the second command does not get executed.

Use the 'call' command when activating/deactivating the environment.

call activate [my_env]
python my_script.py
call conda deactivate
