I have "Python 2.7.11 (v2.7.11:6d1b6a68f775, Dec 5 2015, 20:32:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32" and there is no "win_add2path.py" But I found another solution: I need the extended PATH only for cmd.exe: users shall run my program (a compiled executable) without having to enter the full path. At startup cmd.exe runs a script which is defined by the registry variable AutoRun in "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor" I set this variable with: rc = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor" ar = "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\autorun.cmd" system('reg add "%s" /v AutoRun /d "%s"' % (rc,ar)) and write into autorun.cmd: set PATH=%PATH%;%USERPROFILE%\Desktop This command extends PATH only for this cmd.exe instance.
