[Tutor] PyChecker: Installing and or Using

[Dick Moores]

Win XP. Python2.4.

Javier Ruere suggested getting PyChecker or PyLint. I found PyChecker and 
put the pychecker-0.8.14 folder in 
C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\PyChecker. I don't really know what I'm 
doing (obviously?), but I added 
C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\PyChecker\pychecker-0.8.14\pychecker to 
PYTHONPATH.

So now:
 >>> import sys
 >>> sys.path
['C:\\Python24\\Lib\\idlelib', 'C:\\Python24', 'C:\\Python24\\MyScripts', 
'C:\\Python24\\MyBestScripts', 
'C:\\Python24\\Lib\\site-packages\\PyChecker\\pychecker-0.8.14\\pychecker', 
'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\python24.zip', 'C:\\Documents and 
Settings\\Dick', 'C:\\Python24\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python24\\lib', 
'C:\\Python24\\lib\\plat-win', 'C:\\Python24\\lib\\lib-tk', 
'C:\\Python24\\lib\\site-packages', 
'C:\\Python24\\lib\\site-packages\\Numeric', 
'C:\\Python24\\lib\\site-packages\\win32', 
'C:\\Python24\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib', 
'C:\\Python24\\lib\\site-packages\\Pythonwin']

There's this section in <http://pychecker.sourceforge.net/> :


Note: On Windows, use pychecker.bat. You may also need to add 
python/scripts to your PATH.

pychecker and pychecker.bat will only exist if pychecker has been 
installed. To install, do: python setup.py install

Note: If you haven't installed pychecker, it can be run by doing: python 
pychecker/checker.py

My probably dumb question is, how do I "do" those things? I've tried 
"python setup.py install" at the command line (at Run, I entered cmd and 
then at the prompt in the window I entered python setup.py install. No 
good. Then I tried python pychecker/checker.py . I got:

C:\Documents and Settings\Dick>python pychecker/checker.py
'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

and also

C:\>python pychecker/checker.py
'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Can someone help me (he said plaintively)?
