I need to check in my batch script what python --version response is.

For that, I want to enter to a variable the output of the python --version commands :

set /u cmd=python --version
%cmd%

Use a for loop.

for /f "delims=!" %%i in ('python --version') do set VAR=%%i
echo %VAR%

I changed %cmd% to %VAR% as it is a bad idea to set variable names that resemble system commands such as cmd which is in fact cmd.exe
