I'm trying to run a python script from my VBA module. I've tried pretty much every example I've seen on the internet and so for have had no luck.
In the VBA module I also run a .bat file, and it works perfectly:
batchname = "U:\Backup Bat File.bat"
Shell batchname, vbNormalFocus
Next I need to run the python script, which is located in the same folder as the excel file.
Right now I'm trying out this:
Dim Ret_Val
Dim args
args=Activeworkbook.Path & "\beps_output.py"
Ret_Val = Shell("C:\python34\python.exe" & args, vbNormalFocus)
It doesn't error out, but nothing happens. I'm a little confused at what the "Ret_Val" (return value?) does here, and why it isn't running.

Try adding a space between exe program and file:
Ret_Val = Shell("C:\python34\python.exe " & args, vbNormalFocus)
Also, because Shell is a function that returns a value (variant type - double) with specified arguments, the returned value can be contained in a variable, here as you specify with Ret_Val. You can then add conditional logic and error handling using this value.
