> 1. Go to start

> 5. In this new window, select Environment variables... at the bottom
> 6. In the bottom window area, scroll down until you find "PATH"
> 7. Select "Edit" (do NOT delete anything contained in this or will 
> screw some stuff up)
> 8. scroll to the very end and put a ; as a deliminator if there isn't 
> one on the end already. Then put the direct path to you Python install 
> you care about. (it should be something like this:(;C:\Python27)
I see at the end: Program Files\jEdit;C:\Python25\
There is no Python on my PC. Python 2.5 is what I started with, so I

> 9. Hit OK. Then accept your way out. You will have to reboot.
> 10. To test, open a cmd prompt and and type simply "python". if you 
> get Python 2.7.2 (some more stuff) then python is now on your path.
