python is not recognized as an internal or external command [duplicate]
I try to install this software. For that Python is required.
I installed Python from here of name python-2.7.3.msi
.
I am working on Windows 7.
Hierarchy of my Python software is same as in this post.
After doing that, I make PATHVALUE = C:\Python27\Scripts
When I run any Python file, it shows
python is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Failed to create vc project files.
How can I resolve this?
You want to append to your PATH
the string C:\Python27
, not the scripts folder. Basically, you want the folder with the actual binary python.exe
on your path.
Try this screencast or (not a best way) put python executable into C:\Windows\system32 folder.
The better way is to change Windows environment variable. In short, your path is: My Computer ‣ Properties ‣ Advanced ‣ Environment Variables
