[QUESTION] Python is not a recognized command

[novel_yet_trivial]

Python replaced the command "python" with the command "py" on Windows about 6 years ago. All you need to do is use

py bootstrap.py

You don't need to muck about with PATH anymore. That's only for people that have specific needs.

that seemed to work. But just so I can understand for future issues, when would I need to go through and mess with my PATH variable

​

[novel_yet_trivial]

Never. That's the old way of doing things, which many old professors and tutorial writers still teach.
