setting the python path on a win32

[inkedmn]

this is the most basic of questions...

i was told that the reason i can't invoke the interpreter at the command line is because my path isn't set.

how do i do this?

I think it's pretty close to the same as in *NIX, something like "set path="C:\whereever\python\is\"... though I may be mistooken.

Either in your autoexec.bat file (for Win9x/ME) or in your evironment info (for NT/2k/XP), which is available by right clicking on "my computer" and then picking either properties or manage.

To do it in your autoexec.bat, you need a line like

path=%path%;c:\python\bin

or wherever python is. If there is a space in the file name (like if it is in Program Files), either figure out the DOS name (progra~1) or put "'s around it "c:\Program Files\Python"
