Reoccurring Python error that doesn't make much sense

Question

I keep getting this error while working in a script:

'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Isn't this an error you'd see in terminal? I'm in Atom text editor. On top of that, it was working a few minutes ago (ie giving me errors about my actual code) and I've been working on it with no problem all day long.

Answer 1

Reinstall Python, and make sure you check the 'Add to Path' option.

You could also try adding Python to the path variable ( Tutorial ).
