I am trying to set path for Python but I have no 'path' under environment variables. Below is a link for the original issue as well a screen shot.

    Do you mean to CD python?

  • Because Idle has limited functions and I am trying to use NotePad++ and i need this to configure python to run outside of Idle.

  • There should be a path variable right above the two "temp" variable but for some reason i don't have that path variable. If i just knew how to get the path variable i think i would be good to go.

You have created a variable, not a command. Simply opening CMD and typing "python" will do nothing because CMD has no idea what you want to do with "python". Supply a command and the environment variable path should work.

Example: CD python

  • You want to make a command? Way out of my league. Maybe if you could give us more info WHY you want python included in your paths, we can give better instructions.
