Since you mention .bat files I assiume your running some Windoze variant?

And since you want a console I guess the command line you want to execute
is:

command.com /c <your command here>

You could do that in Python using os.system()
If you want you could use an exec() call for the last one to save 
opening and closing a window unnecessarily... 

BUT I'd just use a batch file for all of them to be honest and
leave Python out of it, iunlsss you do some other processing too.
