That's probably because it's very dependent on the OS and environment
you're using; running programs, forming commands, customising an
environment are better documented in the docs for the OS.

Putting that kind of stuff in detail into Python's docs (or a
PYthon-specific tutorial) would be a waste of space: you'd be
uninterested in all the information that was for environments other than
your own.
