Answer 1

Is this your Python directory? ie is there a file called 'python.exe' in there?

As far as I know, atom should inherit the PATH variables from the command prompt (I may be mistaken). If you restart atom, does this persist?

And also - when you tested it with command prompt, was it pointing to the same directory? Essentially, it's not opening because it needs to either a) see a Python executable in the current directory, or b) know where to find the Python executable (PATH variable)
