The final thing we wanted to do is to convert all shell scripts which are getting called inside management server(This does not include Agents as always they run on Linux Environments) to python scripts. For now I identified the shell scripts those are getting called in side management server and written python script(s) for them (Still need to write for seed system template) and calling for only windows environemnt. In the next phase I will remove OS

 I was also looking into the specific format of .exe but I could not get much on that. If you can point me to some link that is good for me. 
Actually we have used Quick Batch Compiler to convert to .exe format.
