Windows 10 Python Path Update

Question

I recently began using Windows 10. Obviously, after the upgrade, my environmental PATH variable migrated to the new OS. On windows 10, I installed Python 3.4. After the install, I updated my PATH variable with:

;C:\Python34\Scripts;C:\Python34\python.exe;

However, the cmd still does not find the python commands. It would seem as if the PATH variable just plainly was not updated. Any advice on how to fix this?

Answer 1

Open the command prompt using console.

write command as python [Press Enter]

If it shows the above error of "not recognized" command, don't worry.

Write you Python installed path in below statement, as for me It is C:\\Python34

setx path "%PATH%";C:\Python34"

Run the above command on your command prompt as below Screenshot

Run command python again, still shows same error.

Okay, close you command prompt window & open again, type now python and press enter, It will now show what you are expecting.

Hope it works!!
