REM Why??
REM on windows, *.bat files are still the least common denominator.
REM ps1 scripts require the user sets up some security settings, which a domain admin can override
REM but *.bat files always work
REM https://www.tutorialspoint.com/batch_script/index.htm

REM makes heavy use of "refreshenv" which is part of chocolatey

:parse_version
REM see https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/version-specifiers/
REM and https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/core-metadata/#requires-python
REM version strings may look like:
REM ==3.12.0
REM >=3.12a0
REM ==3.12.*
REM <=3.12rc2.dev345
REM
REM for any of the above, we'll just try installing 3.12, which isn't quite  right, but close enough
REM
REM can also look like:
REM >= 3.12.4
REM > 3.12.4b4
REM < 3.12.4rc1.post234
REM
REM for any of the above, we'll install 3.12.4. This isn't quite right, but close enough

REM Removing the crazy quoting required by a FOR inside a .batch file, the yq/jq command would look like:
REM yq -0 -o json '.version = .project.requires-python' pyproject.toml | jq -r '.version | sub("^[^0-9]*";"") |sub("[a-zA-Z+*]{1,}.*";"") |sub("[.]$";"")'

  echo pyproject.toml wants version %%e
  call conda create -y --name "python%%e" python=%%e
  echo Conda environment created
  call :conda_paths
  call :PDMInstall
)

goto end

FOR /F "delims= eol=" %%e in ('"conda env list --json | jq -r ".envs[]""') do (
  echo %%e
  set "PATH=%%e;%PATH%"
)
EXIT /b 0

:PDMInstall
pdm self update
pdm install
EXIT /B %ERRORLEVEL%

:Uninstall
echo Uninstalling
pdm venv remove -y in-project
del /q /s .venv
FOR /F "delims= eol=" %%e in ('"conda env list --json | jq -r ".envs[]""') do (
  call conda env remove --prefix %%e
)
winget remove MikeFarah.yq jqlang.jq Anaconda.Miniconda3
EXIT /B 0

:end
pdm run python

Here's an example pyproject.toml to use with this:

[project]
name = "test"
version = "0.0.1"
description = ""
authors = [
    {name = "paul.klapperich", email = "12666157+pklapperich@users.noreply.github.com"},
]
dependencies = [
    "ipython>=8.22.2",
]
requires-python = "==3.12.*"
license = {text = "MIT"}

[build-system]
requires = ["pdm-pep517>=1.0.0"]
build-backend = "pdm.pep517.api"

If you can't install chocolatey, you can get the refreshenv.cmd from the chocolatey repo which is under the Apache License 2.0. Put it somewhere and put it in your path, or put it somewhere that's already in your path, such as %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps.

Here's an alternate refreshenv script that's GPL.
