Debugging shell file failure (vimrun on Windows)

I'm trying to run a script on the selection. This is on Windows 7 (64-bit).

Basically, I'm selecting and area of text, then running :'<,'>!myscript.py

The command returns with no output and a message "the command returned exit status 1". There is no information as to what went wrong, and when I try the same command from a command prompt, it works fine.

I suspect there is something odd in either the quoting that is going on, or the environment used in the cmd.exe shell that is being executed by vimrun, but I don't know how I can find out.

Can anyone suggest a way of debugging what exactly vim thinks it is running when this command fails?

Thanks,
Paul.
