Run a python script in windows
Question: I have always used a mac to write and run python scripts. However, I have a
bunch of files on a PC that I need to run a script on. I have never really
used a PC and don't know how to run the script.

If I go to the `command` program on the PC and type in `python`, nothing
happens. How do I find where the python path is in order to get into the
`python prompt`? Also, once I am in the prompt, is the importing of `modules`
the same as in a `Unix` system?


Answer: Python isn't added to the system environment's PATH variable by default on
windows. You have to either add the path to the directory containing the
Python.exe file to the PATH variable, or call python explicitly.

This issue has been addressed in the Python documentation: [Python
Documentation: # How to run a Python program under
windows](http://docs.python.org/faq/windows.html#how-do-i-run-a-python-
program-under-windows)
