Hello everyone! I am working with pyFoam to try to automize some of the processes that are necessary to run an OF simulation. With my team we decided to implement some pyfoam commands in a batch file. All run smooth but pyFoamCreateBoundaryPatches.py gives us errors. The commands written in the batch works properly if written in the terminal one by one, so I do not think that it is a pyfoam syntax problem. Here there are the lines of the batch till the incriminated one:

While here the errors during the run of the batch file:
