Adding Python to the Path Environment Variable
The python installer doesn’t add python to the Path environment variable so it needs to be done manually. On Windows 7 and 8 the instructions are as follows:
- Open Control Panel
- Go to System
- Select Advanced System Settings
- Press the Environment Variables button
- In the bottom panel find Path and select Edit
- Add the python install location (C:/Python34/ by default) to the end. Note that the list is semi-colon delimited.
