Hi, I have been asked to write a (3ds to custom) format command line converter.
At the moment I have written a (blender to custom) exporter.

If blenders python scripts could be executed from command line I would be able to write a good (3ds import) and use the (custom export) - This being the easier and more useful for the blender community.

However this needs to be a command line program so I would need blender to execute python code.

If blenders python cannot be executed from the command line I will write a converter in plane python.

If anyone knows about this could you please reply.

It shouldn't be too much work to add a command line
option to call a python script. Its not there currently though.
