<blockquote>
  <p>set path=%path%;C:\python27</p>
</blockquote>

<p>but when i typed <strong>python</strong>  in command line this error is showing</p>

<pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last): File"&lt;stdin&gt;",line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
Nameerror:name 'python' is not defined
</code></pre>

<p>i also tried to add path manually</p>

<pre><code>Start Menu &gt; Control Panel &gt; System &amp; Security &gt; System &gt; Advanced System Settings/ 

Under System variables-path-&gt;edit and added this code  ;C:\python27
</code></pre>
