Terry J. Reedy added the comment: There is a lot more wrong with the Windows part:
"On Windows machines, the Python installation is usually placed in C:\Python36," is no longer true. All-users install is, by default, in Program Files. Current-user install is, by default, buried somewhere forgettable in the hidden /users/USER/appdata dir. " you can type the following command into the command prompt in a DOS box:" It has been a long time since Command Prompt was widely called a 'DOS box'. set path=%path% The is not permanent, at least for non-admin user. One can add the install dir, whatever it is, to path during installation. Or one can use 'py -3.6' ---------- nosy: +steve.dower, terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30569> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
