Python not working in command prompt?

Question

I type python into the command line, but the command prompt says that python is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch fi

Answer 1

When you add the python directory to the path (Computer > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Advanced > Environmental Variables > System Variables > Path > Edit), remember to add a semicolon, then make sure that you are adding the precise directory where the file "python.exe" is stored (e.g. C:\Python\Python27 if that is where "python.exe" is stored). Then restart the command prompt.
