Andrew's answer is a good one for working from within emacs, and can
be implemented by adding something like this to your .emacs

(add-to-list exec-path "C:/PATH/TO/DIR/CONTAINING/PYTHON/EXE")


More generally, I would expect that you would want python.exe on your
path.  In that case, you should add the directory containing
python.exe to your system's PATH environment variable.
