OK so you've got the module system and the first time to try to do anything you get "python not recognized as internalexternal command, operable program or batch file.".

Here's how you getting working for Windows 2000 and XP.

Right click on "My Computer" and select "Properties".  Next select the "Advanced" tab and click on "Environmental Variables".

In the top window, user variables, select "New".  In the pop up window that comes up give the variable a name and enter the path where Python is installed preceded by a semicolon.  Then click "OK".
For this example the variable is given the name "Python" and Python is installed in C:\Python25.

When you're done it should look like this.  Then click on "OK" to close all windows.

If you're using an older version of Windows or can't follow these instructions go to http://www.python.org/doc/faq/windows/#how-do-i-run-a-python-program-under-windows

Instructions for Vista.

Tried this tut, the one on the website, and ven downloading activepython.


I just cant get it to register.

Edit: Just tried something, and It works.

Instead of typing ;C:\Python25, type ";C:\Python25"

For some reason, adding those quote marks makes it work. I dunno, could be a windows service pack difference or something.

Might help somebody else if say which OS and SP you're using.
 
I use Xp SP2, and everything people recommended for me failed. Even when using " marks.

But using same way you do it in Vista worked.
 
Okay guys, tried the different solutions in this thread, tried the vista way to.

Checked both the windows Faq list that was linked to and checked

http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,33942.msg877152.html#msg877152

Yet nothing seemed to work.
XP Home ED, SP2.

Help would be appreciated.
