Please don't use 'DOS box' for Windows Command Prompt or other Windows
consoles for running Windows programs from a command line. DOSBox is
program for running (old) DOS programs written for the IBM PC. One use
is running old games, such as some distributed by GOG. Note that
interactive command line interpreters existed long before MS/PC DOS.

For reasons explained especially well by Eryk Sun, you should probably
use one python program as a master program to run others in succession.
