$Install Python Install Python (use ver2.5 if you need to use a lot of python compatible frameworks as most of them are currently available for ver2.5 only.) I prefer 2.6 since it supports sqlite! Finding python.exe Most programs won’t run from the DOS command line unless you specify the full path to their executables. When running python scripts on Windows, you’d really like to be able to just type python my_script.py from the directory where your script lives, instead of having to explain exactly where the python interpreter is located. To enable this behavior, you’ll need to add the python install directory to the Path environment variable on your machine; this variable is a list of directories that Windows will automatically seach through to find an executable named python. The following instructions are for Windows 2000, but should at least give you an idea of where to start on other versions. (Note that you can only alter environment variables if you are logged in as the machine’s administrator.) Right-click on the desktop icon for your machine (captioned My Computer, if you haven’t renamed it) and go to Properties. This pops up a dialogue box of system information; click on the Advanced tab and then on the Environment Variables button. In the new dialogue that pops up, click on the Pathvariable in the System Variables box; then click the Edit button. Place your cursor in the Variable Value textbox, right before the final double-quote of the string. Type a semicolon (to separate the previous value from the one you’re about to add) and then type the location of the python executable on your system— probably something like C:\Python . Click OK until you’re out of all the dialogue boxes. Now, when you typepython at any DOS command prompt, Windows will be able to automatically find and run the correct executable.
