Answer 1

I faced to the same problem. I solved it by

1. navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Python\PythonCore\3.4\InstallPath and edit the default key with the output of C:\> where python.exe command.
2. navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Python\PythonCore\3.4\InstallPath\InstallGroup and edit the default key with Python 3.4

Note: My python version is 3.4 and you need to replace 3.4 with your python version.

Normally you can find Registry entries for Python in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\. You just need to copy those entries to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Python\PythonCore\
