使用Python错误运行Web服务器

Question

I am using this tutorial and specifically having trouble with the part that says:

"To run a Python web server: Open up a new terminal window. Via the command line, navigate into the directory that you want served. For example, if your project folder is in your Desktop folder on your Mac, you could type: cd ~/Desktop/project-folder. Enter python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8888 &. "

But when I try that, it says "python" is not recognized as an internal or external command. Is there something I need to be adding to a PATH variable or something?

Thanks!

Answer 1

It should work on Windows just the same, try

C:\Python27\python.exe -m SimpleHTTPServer 8888

If you want to be able to call it with simply python ... , see eg Adding Python Path on Windows 7 or Installing Python 2.7 on Windows 8 for adding Python to Windows PATH.
