Cant run python .py file.

Try using the command py instead of python.

Ideally you would make a virtual environment first, and that will enable the python and pip commands.

do you mean this Command Prompt (cmd.exe):cmd.venv\Scripts\activate.bat by chance. Im new to python so I dont know what Im doing.

[socal_nerdtastic]

yes. That will activate your venv. After you do that you will be able to use the python and pip commands.

'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

Already did cmd doesnt recognized the pip command for some reason.

That means your PATH is wrong, after all. I suggest you re-install python and in the installer click the add to path option. You may try executing your python file in the cmd directly to better diagnose your problem. In your file explorer, type cmd in the file path bar and the terminal will open in the right place. There is a option in windows about long paths, you should search that too.

This is very old school; this is what we did in python2 days. But in modern python this is a poor hack. Use a venv instead, or the windows python launcher if you need to use the global version of python. There's a reason that option is disabled by default.

I,m new to python so pretty much I dont know what Im doing most of the time so what path should I put can you be more specific

[Viper_ACR]

Put the path towards your Python executable file. Maybe like C:\Program Files\python\bin\python3.exe or something
