It's not necessary to have Python in the path - it may perhaps be a 
little more comfortable, but not much. The file extensions .py and .pyw 
can be associated with python and pythonw, there is the Python Launcher, 
and for things like pip you can always change into your Python 
directory. But pip works just as well with the Launcher.
