You can do it easily by adding the Python path (in my case C:\Python27) to your system PATH. Simply go to Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings, select 'Advanced' tab, click 'Environment Variables'. There you need to add the path to Python (C:\Python27) to the Path BOTH: - User variables and - System variables For each one click 'Edit' and paste the path (C:\Python27) at the end of the line with a ';' to separate it Restart your shell window and it should work! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
