E.g. run the program "1;". > I have contributed some lines to python recognition on windows ( https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11712): But because of what was written by Thibaut (adding Python to PATH), it looks to me that the failure is not in this function but in rather LyX failing to add path prefix. I can also reproduce this btw. I have checked the path prefix in the settings, all is done right there. But even if I add python dir to PATH, it then will not find other dependencies (imagemagik and ghostscript). -- Eugene
