Don't do that, then :-)
You can open a persistent terminal window, and run the program from the
command line.
Being Windows, this is hidden in a filing cabinet in the basement
behind a door marked "Beware of the Leopard." Or rather, somewhere
in the "Accessories" item in the Start menu. I forget exactly what
it's called (and I'm not using Windows at the moment, so I can't check)
because I always drag a link to the QuickStart tray whenever I first
use a Windows machine.
Python is installed at:
C:\Python27
and I ran:
set path=%path%;C:\python27
#do i have to run the above each time I open up a session?
You should be able to set that value persistently. (I don't wash
Windows, so I don't know what you need to do there.)
Control Panel => System, on the "Advanced" tab there's a button
labelled "Environment Variables" (or something like that). You'll
want to edit the current PATH setting (in the lower half of the
dialog) to add ";C:\python27" to the end. Obvious, isn't it :-/
