python27 and python33 are Windows commands, not Python ones.  You run 
them at the cmd prompt.  Steven suggested those to see what other 
versions of Python you have installed.

And of course the other question is what directory did pandas get 
installed to.   You can find that out with the find command, except that 
you're on Windows.  So I think you'd have to use  dir /s
