Answer 1

I guess all you need is simply start

%comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat""

Answer 2

Here's one of the many ways to call it.

from subprocess import call
call(%comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat"", shell=True)

It can also be done with os.system() and quite a few others from subprocess depending on your needs.
