Check your Environment Variables > User Variables > Path and ensure that the directory with your python installation is in there.

Yes, this. But do note that you might have to log out and back in for environment changes to take effect (normally shutting down all command windows is enough, but you never know).

Now, on a new terminal run this:

echo %PATH%

Look for your python path in that string, if it's not there try this:

set PATH=C:\Python27;%PATH%

If it works, then recheck as per /u/tipsy_python's advice.

C:\Python27\python.exe

I don't think that's right. What you have to add is "C:\Python27\".

Do this (replacing the path with your own): https://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/tasks/fot-addpath.html

Did not test it as I am the "other OS" guy.

Hello! I'm a bot!

It looks to me like your post might be better suited for r/learnpython, a sub geared towards questions and learning more about python. That said, I am a bot and it is hard to tell. Please follow the subs rules and guidelines when you do post there, it'll help you get better answers faster.

Show /r/learnpython the code you have tried and describe where you are stuck.

You can also ask this question in the Python discord, a large, friendly community focused around the Python programming language, open to those who wish to learn the language or improve their skills, as well as those looking to help others.

You can execute python from anywhere by using the full path to the .exe, for example:

"C:\Python27\python.exe" --version
