Make sure that OS recognizes it as a command. That usually means putting the directory where your Python resides into the path. I generally advise using Cygwin and installing the Cygwin version of Python. Your OS will look like a POSIX compatible system, and you will be able to use Unix/ Linux tools like bash, less. vi, awk, grep and alike. You will also be able to use "/" as a directory separator which is really helpful when it comes to regular expressions. Another option is to install Ubuntu on top of your Windows 10. I am no fan of Ubuntu but it's still much better than Windows. All scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Go and JavaScript to mention only the most popular ones) are all written with Linux/Unix in mind. There are Windows ports but using the Linux or Cygwin version is typically much easier and more natural. -- Mladen Gogala Database Consultant https://dbwhisperer.wordpress.com -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
