Introduction

Typing the full path name for a Python interpreter each time quickly gets tedious, so add the directories for your default Python version to the PATH.

Assuming that your Python installation is in C:Python27, add this to your PATH:

C:\Python27\;C:\Python27\Scripts\

You can do this easily by running the following in powershell

Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", "$env:Path;C:\Python27\;C:\Python27\Scripts\", "User")
