You probably didn't choose "add Python to your PATH" when installing (it's an option, that's off by default). You can manually add Python to your PATH (if you don't know how to do this, there are plenty of resources that can help - it's a fairly basic thing you need to be aware of if you're using the command line), or you can reinstall, or "repair" your installation and select the option. Or you can use the Python launcher, py.exe, which is on PATH and which will launch Python for you: * Run python: py * Run pip: py -m pip Paul -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
