I've checked the source code and I think it's not a problem with 
python. The windows shell is supported. Geany has a debug option, -d. 
You could try running with that flag, but it might not help much in 
this case.

Currently, Geany creates a run script (geany_run_script.bat) in the 
current directory of the current file. From the error message in your 
first mail it seems the script did get created, but then launching the
shell fails for some reason.

Is the 'Process failed' line exactly what you get - there seems to be a 
missing closing bracket?
