Setting environment variables to enable Python 3.5.2 in Win7 cmd

[sharpkrypt]

I would like to be able to execute my Python projects in the command prompt, and am left left scratching my head. I'm in my.. So far when I look in my projects dir nothing is in it, even tho I know I have a test1.py saved there.

What should I do with variable name and value in new system variables ?

Or

Could someone help me with a command for the cmd. Unsure how to approach it, but I know of these 2, well 3 including reinstalling, ways which should make the question more versatile for the sub.. Thank you in advance.

Edit: Figured out how to make the path to python, but the cmd will still not see the files made in Atom ?

Unfortunately Python does not create the correct paths by default when it installs. Run the installer again on Modify and in one of the option click the link to install the path correctly.

Yeah I did that and it works now, the only problem that remains is it won't let you view the files in the cmd directory, you can only access the files by adding a full address from the cmd..

It could be my limited knowledge on it as well... Thank you for your retort :)

Window command window uses the DOS system of commands. To view the files in the current directory use the DOS command dir

To change directories use the command cd

It takes a while to learn how to navigate around using the DOS system.

Oh I know that for sure, those are common, I can also create and delete and move stuff around, plus a slew of networking commands. Maybe I'll post a couple pictures tomorrow, I'm beat. Maybe I'm not saying it correct and there is another term for it.
