It is almost certain that you are using MS Windows, and that Python is not in you "system path". If so, here's what to do:
Add the top-level Python directory to your Windows "PATH". On Windows NT this is done with Control Panel/System/Environment. On Windows 2000 and Windows XP it is done with Control Panel/System/Advanced/Environment Variables. Edit the PATH environment variable in the System settings to add C:\Python22 or C:\Program Files\Python22 (or wherever you put Python) (taken from http://cars9.uchicago.edu/software/python/) Ben --- Matt Warren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I just started attempting to program and thought i > would try python as my > first tool.
